2023 CREATION PRAYER

Creator of All,
From your communion of love life sprung forth like a mighty river
and the whole cosmos came into being.
On this Earth of overflowing love, the Word was made flesh and
went forth with the life-giving waters proclaiming peace and justice
for all creation.
You called human beings to till and keep your garden. You placed us
into right relationship with each creature, but we failed to listen to
the cries of the Earth and the cries of the most vulnerable. We broke
with the flowing communion of love and sinned against you by not
safeguarding the conditions for life.
We lament the loss of our fellow species and their habitats, we
grieve the loss of human cultures, along with the lives and
livelihoods that have been displaced or perished, and we ache at
the sight of an economy of death, war and violence that we have
inflicted on ourselves and on the Earth.
Open our ears to your creative, reconciling and sustaining Word that
calls to us through the book of Scripture and the book of creation.
Bless us once again with your life-giving waters so that the Creator
Spirit may let justice and peace flow in our hearts and overflow into
all creation.
Open our hearts to receive the living waters of God’s justice and
peace, and to share it with our suffering brothers and sisters, all
creatures around us, and all creation.
Bless us to walk together with all people of good will so that the
many streams of the living waters of God’s justice and peace may
become a mighty river all over the Earth.
In the name of the One who came to proclaim good news to all
creation, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
