Creator
of heaven and earth and all that is in them, You created us in your own image
and made us stewards of all your creation.
You
blessed us with the sun, water and bountiful land so that all might be
nourished.
Open
our minds and touch our hearts, so that we may attend to your gift of creation.
Help
us to be conscious that our common home belongs not only to us, but to all of
your creatures and to all future generations, and that it is our responsibility
to preserve it.
May
we help each person secure the food and resources that they need.
Be
present to those in need in these trying times, especially the poorest and
those most at risk of being left behind.
Transform
our fear and feelings of isolation into hope and fraternity so that we may
experience a true conversion of the heart.
Help
us to show creative solidarity in addressing the consequences of this global
pandemic.
Make
us courageous to embrace the changes that are needed in search of the common
good.
Now
more than ever may we feel that we are all interconnected and interdependent.
Enable
us to listen and respond to the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.
May
the present sufferings be the birth pangs of a more fraternal and sustainable
world.
Under
the loving gaze of Mary, Help of Christians, we make this prayer through
Christ
our Lord.
our Lord.
Amen +
