Prayer of the Week 27 June 2021

Creator God, as we marvel and reflect on the wonders of our amazing yet fragile habitat, we celebrate the wonders of Earth as our home.
Help us to reflect how we have polluted our planet and teach us to be alert to the groans of creation.
May we be conscious of your presence on earth as a living sanctuary and learn to lovingly care for this home,
through Christ our Lord, who was there during creation.
Amen
