      • April 2024 Prayer Guide
    • As we honor the great progress made by the global Church in our journey towards ecological conversion and prepare for the next decade of action to care for all God’s creation, we invite you to reflect for the next eight days on the following: what can I do to walk together with my brothers and sisters most impacted by the climate crisis to make sure that our common home remains a place that respects the dignity and interconnectedness of all life?

      • A Prayer for Our Earth

        All-powerful God, you are present in the whole universe
        and in the smallest of your creatures.
        You embrace with your tenderness all that exists.
        Pour out upon us the power of your love,
        that we may protect life and beauty.
        Fill us with peace, that we may live
        as brothers and sisters, harming no one.
        O God of the poor,
        help us to rescue the abandoned and forgotten of this earth,
        so precious in your eyes.
        Bring healing to our lives,
        that we may protect the world and not prey on it,
        that we may sow beauty, not pollution and destruction.
        Touch the hearts
        of those who look only for gain
        at the expense of the poor and the earth.
        Teach us to discover the worth of each thing,
        to be filled with awe and contemplation,
        to recognize that we are profoundly united
        with every creature
        as we journey towards your infinite light.
        We thank you for being with us each day.
        Encourage us, we pray, in our struggle
        for justice, love and peace.

        Father, we praise you with all your creatures.
        They came forth from your all-powerful hand;
        they are yours, filled with your presence and your tender love.
        Praise be to you!

        Son of God, Jesus,
        through you all things were made.
        You were formed in the womb of Mary our Mother,
        you became part of this earth,
        and you gazed upon this world with human eyes.
        Today you are alive in every creature
        in your risen glory.
        Praise be to you!

        Holy Spirit, by your light
        you guide this world towards the Father’s love
        and accompany creation as it groans in travail.
        You also dwell in our hearts
        and you inspire us to do what is good.
        Praise be to you!

        Triune Lord, wondrous community of infinite love,
        teach us to contemplate you
        in the beauty of the universe,
        for all things speak of you.
        Awaken our praise and thankfulness
        for every being that you have made.
        Give us the grace to feel profoundly joined
        to everything that is.

        God of love, show us our place in this world
        as channels of your love
        for all the creatures of this earth,
        for not one of them is forgotten in your sight.
        Enlighten those who possess power and money
        that they may avoid the sin of indifference,
        that they may love the common good, advance the weak,
        and care for this world in which we live.
        The poor and the earth are crying out.
        O Lord, seize us with your power and light,
        help us to protect all life,
        to prepare for a better future,
        for the coming of your Kingdom
        of justice, peace, love and beauty.
        Praise be to you!
        Amen.
