Season of Creation 2024 Prayer

Triune God, Creator of all,

We praise you for your goodness, visible in all the diversity that you have
created, making us a cosmic family living in a common home. Through
the Earth you created, we experience love and nourishment, home and
protection.

We confess that we do not relate to the Earth as a Mothering gift from
you, our Creator. Our selfishness, greed, neglect, and abuse have caused the climate crisis, loss of biodiversity, human suffering as well as the suf-
fering of all our fellow creatures. We confess that we have failed to listen to the groans of the Earth, the groans of all creatures, and the groans of
the Spirit of hope and justice that lives within us.

May your Creator Spirit help us in our weakness, so that we may know the
redeeming power of Christ and the hope found in him. May the groans of
the Spirit birth in us a willingness to serve you faithfully, so that we may
hear and heal Creation, to hope and act together with her, so that the
first-fruits of hope may blossom.

Loving and Creator God, we pray that you will make us sensitive to these
groans and enable us to have the same compassion as that of Jesus, the
redeeming Lord. Grant us a fresh vision of our relationship with Earth, and
with one another, as creatures that are made in your image.

In the name of the One who came to proclaim the good news to all Crea-
tion, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
