PRAYER FOR THE EARTH
 
 
Dear God 
Please bless and protect this sacred jewel,
Our vulnerable planet so besieged.
May the rivers and the oceans and the sky and the land
All be repaired somehow, dear Lord
May the barbarism and exploitation end, which threatens
to destroy our priceless treasure.
 
For surely the earth has been our home.
The home of our parents unto all generations.
For the sake of our children and their children. Lord,
Save this earth.
 
Place in all minds a greater awe before her mysteries.
Shield her and heal her wounds,
We need a miracle now God,
Restore her to her former glory.
Save her Lord, from us.
Amen
