A Laudato Si’ Beatitudes Prayer

God of All Creation,

Blessed are those who hold the space for dialogue with the natural world, God, and each other, for they will hear the fullness of life.  

Blessed are those who enter into relationship with the natural world, for they will know the intrinsic value of all of God’s Creation.

Blessed are those who heal the wounded earth for they will be restored to right relationship with all of Creation.  

Blessed are those who discern the voice of Creation for they will receive an experience of God in a language not our own.

Blessed are those who see with the eyes of their heart for their vision will imagine the potential for new life to emerge. 

Blessed are those who nurture the needs of the living and nonliving world, for they will be nourished in body and spirit.  

Blessed are those who live simply, for their discipline will bring harmony with the rhythms of life. 

Blessed are those who cultivate a life of prayer for they will know an inner cosmos that honours the outer world.

Blessed are those who participate in civil affairs for they will bring the cry and song of the earth to systems of power and policy. 

Blessed are those who have gratitude for they will receive the gift of abundance.       

Amen
