Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
God created our world with wisdom and love and when he had finished his great work of creation, God saw that it was good. Today however the world is confronted with a serious ecological crisis. (…) With the apostle Paul we can affirm: creation has been delivered into the power of destruction, it groans as in the pains of childbirth.
I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.NIV, Romans 8:18-23
