You call us to be witnesses

to your truth

So we pray that you bless us today.

a new world is possible.Bless our eyes

to your word as it is spoken around us

Bless our ears

So that they may be ready to receive new

ideas and open to new possibilities

Bless our minds.

here and now

Bless our hands.

So that they may be disturbed

and encouraged to strive for

a world where human dignity is

respected

Bless our hearts.

And may the Holy Spirit give us the resolve to

become leaders for today, so that together we can build a better world for

tomorrow.

We make this prayer through Christ our

Compassionate and loving God,

you created the world

for us all to share,

a world of beauty and plenty.

Create in us a desire to live simply,

so that our lives may

reflect your generosity.

Creator God,You gave us responsibility for the

earth,a world of riches and delight.

Create in us a desire to live sustainably,so that those who follow after us may enjoy the fruits of your creation.

God of peace and justice,You give us the capacity to change,to bring about a world that mirrors your wisdom.

Create in us a desire to act in solidarity,so that the pillars of injustice crumble

and those now crushed are set free.
