Laudito Si' Prayer
All-powerful God, you are present in the whole universe and in the smallest of your creatures.
Pour out upon us the power of your love, that we may protect life and your creation.
Fill us with peace, that we may live as brothers and sisters, harming no one.
Teach us to discover the worth of each thing, to be filled with wonder and awe, to recognise that we are profoundly united with every creature as we journey towards your infinite light.
Encourage us, in our struggle for justice, love and peace.
We make this prayer in Jesus’ name.
Amen
