Common Prayer for 5^th Anniversary of Laudato Si – May 24^th
 
Creator of heaven and earth and all that is in them, you created us in your own image and made us stewards of all your creation.  You blessed us with the sun, water and bountiful land so that all might be nourished. Open our minds and touch our hearts, so that we may attend to your gift of creation.  Help us to be conscious that our common home belongs not only to us, but to all your creatures and to all future generations, and that is our responsibility to preserve it.  May we help each person secure the food and resources that they need.  Be present to those in need in these trying times, especially the poorest and those most at risk of being left behind.  Transform our fear and feelings of isolation into hope and fraternity so that we may experience a true conversion of heart.  Help us to show creative solidarity in addressing the consequences of this global pandemic.  Make us courageous to embrace the changes that ware needed in each of the common good, now more than ever may we feel that we are interconnected an interdependent.  Enable us to listen and respond to the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor. May the present sufferings be the birth pangs of more fraternal and sustainable world.  Under the loving gaze of Mary Help of Christians, we make this prayer through Christ our lord.  Amen.
