Prayer by Pope Francis from Laudato Si”
Reader 1: All powerful God, you are present in the whole universe and in the smallest of creatures.
You embrace with your tenderness all that exists.
Pour out upon us the power of love,
that we may protect life and beauty.
Fill us with peace, that we may live as brothers
and sisters,harming no one.
Reflect
Reader 2: 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 distruction.
Reflect...
Reader 1: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 profoudly 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. Amen
Each of you take your earth treasure and bless it. Take turns saying your blessing out loud after I say your name. Pay close attention to your treasure as you say your blessing.
Closing Song: “Thank You For This Day” by Karen Drucker
