Laudato Si Bulletin piece for Sunday 14th July
PRAYER FOR WATER
Creator, we turn our attention to
acknowledge and give thanks for Your
gift of water. The mighty seas, the calm lakes, the rivers,
the streams, and the rain that falls to
refresh our sister mother earth.
At the beginning of creation You
sanctified the waters. Your gift is
indispensable to all life on earth. It grows our food, it sustains all
living things physically.
When we are in need of spiritual strength You instructed us to go down
to the water and wash our spirits clean.
Awaken the heart of those who exploit
Your gift for profit. And forgive those of
us who take Your gift for granted.
Help us to remember the preciousness of
Your gift and give us the wisdom to use
Your gift wisely and to share it equitably.
