Ss Peter & Paul 29^th June: Focus: You are Peter, & upon this rock I will build my Church. – While preaching & spreading the Gospel after the Resurrection, Peter was arrested by King Herod. Meanwhile, prayer by the Church was fervently being made to God on his behalf. The early Church offers us an example of intercessory prayer that we should imitate by praying fervently for the successor of Peter, the pope.

“The Family that Prays together stays together”

A PRAYER FOR OUR EARTH

Loving God, We thank you for the gift of creation, for the beauty & wonder of the earth, & for all its resources. We acknowledge that we have not always been good stewards of this planet, & that our actions have often caused harm to your creation.

Forgive us for our carelessness, our greed, & our indifference to the needs of others & the well-being of the earth. Help us to see the interconnectedness of all things & to recognise that we are all part of your creation, & that we are called to care for it. Grant us the wisdom to understand the urgency of the climate crisis & the courage to make the necessary changes in our lives to protect your creation.

Inspire our leaders to make decisions that are just & sustainable, & to work together for the common good. May we all live more simply, consume less, & share more, so that future generations may also enjoy the beauty & bounty of your creation.

We pray for the healing of our planet & for the restoration of your creation to its original harmony. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, your Son, who loved all creation & taught us to love one another. Amen.
