Season of Creation Prayer 2025
Creator of all,
we praise you for the gift of life and
for the faith that unites us in care
for our common home.
We confess how estranged we have
become - from one another, from
your Creation, and from our truest selves.
We acknowledge that our greed and
destructive impulses have fractured
our relationships with you, with
others, and with the Earth.
Fertile fields have become barren,
forests lie desolate, oceans and
rivers are polluted.
Thriving communities have become
places of suffering, and Earth cries out.
Beloved Christ,
who spoke “Shalom” to frightened
hearts, stir us to compassionate action.
Inspire us to work for the end of
conflict, and for the full restoration
of broken relationships - with you,
with the ecumenical community,
with the human family, and with all Creation.
Prince of Peace,
through your wounds, teach us
to stand in solidarity with the
woundedness of others, of creation,
and of the world.
Through your resurrection, make
us people of hope - with a vision of
swords turned into ploughshares
and tears transformed into joy.
May we come together as one
family, to labour for your peace - a
shalom where all your people may
dwell in safety, and rest in quiet places.
Amen.
