Called to be God’s partners in the care of the planet

Bountiful God,
you call us to labor with you in tending the earth:

Where we lack love, open our hearts to the world;
where we waste, give us discipline to conserve;
where we neglect, awaken our minds and wills to insight and care.

May we with all your creatures honor and serve you in all things,
for you live and reign with Christ, Redeemer of all,
and with your Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever
Amen.
