Creator God,
All around us, we can plainly see
The injustices that plague our world.
Help us envision a more just world,
One that is possible, a world You call us to.
We can see the poverty
That diminishes life in so many ways.
Help us envision the human flourishing
That is the affirmation of your gift of life.
We can see the intolerance
That wounds our communities.
Help us envision the solidarity
That binds us together as one human family.
|
We can see the violence
That destroys so many people and places.
Help us envision the peace
That your Son calls us to.
We can see the environmental destruction
That is is growing daily in our world
Help us envision a green and growing garden
That shows forth the goodness of Creation,
Open our eyes, so we may see
How we have failed to follow your call;
Open our hearts, so we may envision
The world as you intended,
A world we are called to co-create
In justice and peace. Amen.
