An End to Waste

Let us pray for an end to theWaste and desecration of God's creationFor access to the fruits of creationTo be shared equally among all peopleAnd for communities and nations to find sustenanceIn the fruits of the earth and the water God has given us.

Almighty God, you created the world and gave itInto our care so that, in obedience to you,We might serve all people:Inspire us to use the riches of creation with wisdom,and to ensure that their blessings are shared by all;That, trusting in your bounty, all people may beEmpowered to seek freedom from poverty, famine, and oppression.
