Almighty Father, we raise our hearts to You in gratitude for the
wonders of creation of which we are part, for Your providence
in sustaining us in our needs, and for Your wisdom that guides
the course of the universe.
We acknowledge our sins against You and the rest of creation.
We have not been good stewards of Nature. We have
confused Your command to subdue the earth.
The environment is made to suffer our wrongdoing, and now
we reap the harvest of our abuse and indifference. Global
warming is upon us. Typhoons, floods, volcanic eruption, and
other natural calamities occur in increasing number and
intensity. We turn to You, our loving Father, and beg
forgiveness for our sins. We ask that we, our loved ones and
our hard earned possessions be spared from the threat of
calamities, natural and man-made. We beseech You to inspire
us all to grow into responsible stewards of Your creation, and
generous neighbors to those in need.
Amen.
