1. Over the past century, we have noticed the diminution of
the living diversity of creation and of the health of the
ecosystems that support it; Help us Lord, to do our part to
stop further decline in the health of our planet by the way
we live our lives.

Lord, we pray that people everywhere become more caring
towards the environment in which they live, and that
everyone seriously consider environmental concerns when
making decisions.
2. Lord, please grant us the wisdom to care for the earth
and till it.
Help us to act now for the good of future generations
and all your creatures.
Help us to become instruments of a new creation,
founded on the covenant of your love.
We ask all these in the name of your son Jesus Christ,
Amen.
