Prayer for Climate Change Summit
Loving and Creator God, help us to become
artisans of the revolution of tenderness
as we face the threats that arise
from global inequality
and the destruction of the environment.
These threats are interrelated
and are among the greatest
facing our human family today.
Help us to play our part in protecting
and sustaining our common home
as you call us to dialogue and a new solidarity.
Illumine our hearts so that we will see
the good of the human person as the key value
that directs our search for the global
and universal common good.
Amen.
This prayer has been adapted from the conclusion of Cardinal Turkson’s Annual Lenten Lecture 2015 at Trocaire in Ireland on March 5, 2015.
It is taken from Pause for Peace 2015, ‘Society of the Sacred Heart at the UN’ website.
