O God, your creative Love brought forth our world,

Once a Garden where humans could taste and see beauty and goodness.

But our eyes do not always see the sacredness of Creation.

We do always remember that it is a gift

Given so that all humans may live and flourish.

Inattention can change the world.

Even the mighty glaciers weep now.

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we ask you to

Call us to renewal and to stewardship.

Call us to solidarity with the earth and all its creatures.

Give us new vision to see the fragile beauty that remains with us.

Give us new spiritual energy to become active in loving the world.

Give us new voices to speak out for environmental solidarity.

Bless us with a love of your Creation

So that we may glimpse your Eden once again.
