Prayer

Learning with Wonder

Learning with Wonder reminds us of the beauty, complexity and fragility of creation. 

It challenges us to search for meaning, truth and peace.

Let Us Pray:

God of all creation,

How splendid and majestic is the world you created. 

It reveals your glory; it teaches us about you.

When you made us in your image, you gave us this command:care for the world and for all the creatures in it, for this is our common home.

Yet your holy creation cries out,for our home is “burdened and laid waste,”scorched and scarred.

Come among us that we might remember our interdependence.Let us see the face of your Son in those who suffer from the destruction of our common home.

Help us to be stewards who honour you in the world you have made for the good of all creation and for future generations.

May your justice reign forever!

Amen.
