Lord, make me a steward of your earth.
Let me sow crops where there is hunger,
Purify waters where they are undrinkable,
Restore seas where they are spoiled,
Cleanse air where it is fouled,
Replenish life where it is forsaken, And, overcome thirst for possessions which leave me
weakened and unquenched.
Divine Creator, grant that I may not seek to
build where your creation justly pushes me away,
live where harmony can not be sustained,
destroy that which is blessed, or
take beyond my humble needs.
For, all of Sister Mother Earth and Brother Sky are built with God’s hands,
entrusted to all of God’s children, even to those yet born, and
for all of divine creation.
When we live holy as God intends, we discover
life where there is void,
joy where there is suffering
balance where there is chaos
blessings where there is offense, and
immeasurable prosperity for all,
forever, until the end of time. Amen
