A Litany of Penance
Lord, we pray for this world you have made. We ask your blessing on earth, wind, and water. Preserve this sweet place in its course through the cosmos.
Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
Lord, we pray for the community of living creatures. Guide us in our works and ways, that every being may praise with its life and serve you all of its days.
Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
Lord, we pray for our human family. You named us stewards of this Earth, and we want to tend it and care for it. Teach us to live in harmony together, so we can live in harmony with Earth.
Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
Lord, again and again we seek what is good and do what is bad. We stand in the rubble of many bad choices. We have been forgetful and willful tenants since you first put us in the Garden. Give us strength and courage to change our ways, so this Earth may flourish under our care.
Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
Lord, at the end of all things you will bring us into your household, to make community with you forever. Fill us with your Spirit now, in our days on this Earth, so we may be fit and ready for the new heaven and the new Earth you promise.
Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
Lord, you have called us to be stewards of this wonderful Earth. Guide our efforts: refresh the ground and the sea, let the air be soft and sweet. Teach us to care for your Earth, as you care for us. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
