VOCATION REFLECTIONS

“God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost but may have eternal life.” Follow Christ with your life that you too may have eternal life. (John 3:13-17)

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.
