Loving Creator,
You make all things in balance:
sun and moon
earth and sea
fire and ice
so that all Creation might exist in harmony.
We lament that our greed has disrupted this balance.
The climate emergency threatens all existence.
Droughts and flooding
extreme heat and ice storms
coastal erosion and rising sea levels
are increasingly the norm.
To change our climate for the better, we ourselves must change.
We ourselves must be transformed into a new humanity.
Loving Creator, we ask you to make us anew
Open our eyes – to see the beauty of Creation
Open our ears – to hear the prophets speaking Truth among us
Open our arms – to embrace our neighbours, human and other-than-human
Open our hands – to do the work that must be done
Open our hearts – to be instruments of Love in the world
Embolden us and our political leaders to take action now.
For act we must.
