                "I am your Mother.  From me  come the fruit and grain and animals
           which feed you.  I am your support, and  my pull on your  bodies keeps
           you held firmly to  me.  Without me you would die.   Am I not holy and
           worthy of praise? "

           Earth where worms  burrow deeper  and seeds nestle  awaiting the  long
           sleep of Winter.  Take with you our 
           blessings and thanks.  Hail and farewell! 
            
           Responsorial:  Hail and farewell!
