To Protect and Heal God’s Creation
We have come to renew our covenant with God and with
one another in Christ Jesus,
our Lord. We have come to help protect
God’s Creation.
We have come as followers of Jesus to
commit ourselves anew to one another and
to heal injustice and poverty.
We have come to stand together
against all threats to life.
We have come to discover some new
beauty every day in God’s creation; the
sunrise and sunset, birds, flowers and trees,
rainbows in the sky, the stars, the many forms
of life in the forest.
We have come to listen to the “music of the
universe’-water flowing over rocks, the wind,
trees bending in the wind, raindrops
pattering the roof.
We will remember always that God speaks to
us through the beauty of his creation, and
we will try our best to answer God’s call to
reverence all that he has created.
Amen.
A Prayer for all those who are sick and suffering in our parish community and beyond.
In interceding for them we carry on the ministry of Jesus who constantly prayers for us. Would you join us?
O God in your love and mercy you care for your people.
We pray today for those who are ill and suffering in our parish.
Heal them in body, soul, and spirit this day.
Give them your peace.
May Mary our mother wrap them in the mantle of her love.
Be with those who care for the sick.
Give them patience and healing hands.
We ask this through Christ your Son, our Lord who lives with you forever with the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
