Today we share Pope Francis call for awareness and action from every human being. Pope Francis released his first encyclical and in it the pontiff focuses on climate change and global inequality. Francis said the poor stand to suffer the most from extreme weather events that are already regularly wreaking havoc across the planet. The encyclical closes with two prayers. In the first one, “A prayer for our earth,” Francis implores that we “Bring healing to our lives / that we may protect the world and not prey on it / that we may sow beauty / not pollution and destruction.”
Prayer for our Earth
Almighty Lord, you are present throughout the whole universe and in the smallest of your creatures, You who surround with your tenderness all that exists, pour into us the strength of your love so that we take care of life and beauty. Flood us with peace, so that we live as brothers and sisters without harming anyone. Father of the poor, help us to redeem the abandoned and forgotten in this land that are so worthy in your eyes. Heal our lives, so that we protect the world and not plunder it, so that we sow beauty and not destruction and pollution. Touch the hearts of those who seek only benefits at the expense of the poor and of the earth. Teach us to discover the value of everything, to contemplate with amazement, to recognize that we are deeply united with all creatures on our way to your infinite light. Thank you because you are with us every day. Support us, please, in our struggle for justice, love and peace.
Lord God, One and Three,
beautiful community of infinite love, teach us to contemplate the beauty of the universe, where everything is about you. Awaken our praise and our gratitude for all that you have created. Give us the grace to feel intimately united with all that exists. God of love, show us our place in this world as instruments of your love for all beings of this earth, because not one of them is forgotten by you. Illumine the masters of power and money so that they do not fall into sin of indifference, love the common good, promote the weak, and take care of the world we inhabit. The poor and the earth are crying: Lord, take us with your power and your light, to protect all life, for a better future, so that comes your kingdom of justice, of peace, of love and beauty. Praised be! Amen.
