VOCATION REFLECTIONS
Jesus made himself the servant of
all. Am I willing to be a servant for
Jesus’ people? (Mark 9: 30-37)

Prayer for our Creation
God our Creator, in the midst of our
ecological crisis, we pray that people
may learn to respect your creation
and care for it as a precious gift.
In view of the threatening climate
crisis, may we be mindful of the poor,
who are the most vulnerable to the
impacts of climate change, that they
may be taken into account by those
societies contributing the most to
climate change.
Believing in your saving power and
that you can make straight our
crooked paths, we pray for action to
protect and care for all creation and
set our economies on new more
lifegiving paths. We make our prayer
through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
