God we ask for your mercy and help.
We have filled the waters of the earth with poison and pollution.
We have harmed people, animals, fish and plants with this water.
We have continued to fill the waters with chemicals, plastics and garbage even when we know this is harmful.
God have mercy on us and forgive us.
Help us to care for these precious waters that sustain us.
We have poisoned and polluted the land.
We have destroyed forests and fields.
Our foods are no longer rich in nutrients.
We continue to harm people, animals and plants with our poisons and pollution.
God have mercy on us and forgive us.
Help us to care for the land that sustains us.
We have poisoned and polluted the air.
We continue to burn fossil fuels that are heating our atmosphere.
We are harming people, animals and plants with these poisons and pollution.
We know this, yet we continue to burn and pollute our air.
God have mercy on us and forgive us.
Help us to care for the air that sustains us.
The earth is suffering and groaning
With floods and fires.
Glaciers are melting and forests are disappearing
While deserts are increasing.
Oh God forgive us!
We have done this to the beautiful earth you created, filled with living creatures that we are harming, including ourselves.
We have ignored the warnings and
We have not acted when we realized long ago we were culpable.
God we ask you to help us do what is right.
Help us to care for our planet and all who inhabit it.
Even now, if you do not help us it will be too late.
We put our hope in you. Help us and sustain us.
God have mercy on us! Amen
