God of the mountains and the seas, help us understand the beauty of all creation and yet

recognize the fragility of the hills, waters, and skies. Open our hearts to understand our personal

responsibility to care for God’s creation by fighting the climate crisis. Guide us to reduce

waste and take from the Earth only what is necessary.

Lord, help us care for your world and not abuse its resources, so that life may continue to

flourish.

God of the gardens and forests, enlighten us to protect the trees that give us life, health, and

happiness. Help us restore with our hands all that has been lost. God of the reefs and marine

creatures, challenge us to act against plastic pollution and overfishing.

Lord, help us care for your world and not abuse its resources, so that life may continue to

flourish.

God of living beings, forgive us for destroying  the Earth in search of our  comfort or profit.

Give us wisdom to learn how to protect our beautiful planet now and for future generations.

Lord, help us care for your world and not abuse its resources, so that life may continue to

flourish.

Amen
