Each Sunday for the Season of Creation, this prayer will be said at all Masses. It is adapted from the Laudato Si’ Movement’s Creation Care Prayer Network.

Loving God and Creator, we come before You with humble and grateful hearts for the gift of creation.

Jesus we feel your wounds: In the suffering of communities devastated by ecological destruction; In the silent cries of extinct and endangered species; and in the greed and indifference consuming our planet.

Jesus we encounter your resurrected life: In the interconnectedness of all creation; In the glorious diversity of people and living creatures; and In the wisdom of indigenous communities and environmental defenders.

Jesus inspire your people: For the ecological conversion of the people of God; For burning hearts for climate and ecological justice; For bold actions in governments and societies.

Loving Creator, give us the grace to be faithful co-creators to care for our common home. Fill us with Your Spirit who renews the face of the earth. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
