Climate Justice Prayer of Intercession
We pray for the waters of the world,
that they may be restored to health and filled with bountiful life.
We pray for the Earth’s soil,
that its richness be protected to ensure abundant harvests for all.
We pray for all creatures who share Earth with us,
that their beauty and diversity will be preserved.
We pray for our brothers and sisters around the world
who have been and will be directly impacted by the effects of climate change.
We pray for future generations,
may they learn from our environmental irresponsibility, and
be good stewards living simply and in harmony with all your creation.
We pray for all human beings, that we will be filled with a spirit of concern
for the future of our environment,
bring an end to the exploitation of the earth’s scarce resources,
and live as responsible stewards
protecting and respecting this gift of creation God has placed in our hands. 

We pray for wisdom for decision makers around the world,
that wealthy nations may make amends
for the harm they have done to the environment
and find creative and just solutions
to protect all of creation and ensure climate justice.

Consider joining the circular economy:
-
Buy second hand
-
Find 'Buy Nothing (your town)' on-line, or "FreeCycle (your town), the local swap shed, other ways to avoid the trash bin.
-
Refuse, Re-use, Reduce, Re-pair, Re-purpose, Re-gift, Refurbish, Recycle (last choice.) Which will you do more of?
