From the Second Sunday of Lent service; Including our global climate neighbours;

Traditional Ute Prayer - A prayer from the Ute people of North America (native North American), with thanks to CAFOD

Earth teach me freedom as the eagle which soars in the sky.

Earth teach me resignation as the leaves which die in the fall.

Earth teach me regeneration as the seed which rises in the spring.

Earth teach me to forget myself as snow forgets its life.

Earth teach me to remember kindness as dry fields weep with rain.

An Ecological Lord’s Prayer by Cláudio Carvalhaes

Our God who are in pluriverses,
the skies and the earth,

Blessed be your name: life.
May your pulsing life come to be seen, heard, touched and felt
through the oceans, the forests, in the rocks, in the life of plants
and in the sounds of animals and singing birds.

May the atmosphere of the sky that carries our ability to breathe continue balanced
as fossil presences are kept under the earth.

Give us this day our daily bread
through a variety of seeds and grains and leaves without pesticides,
without monocultures, from local farms and agro-biodiverse-cultures.

Forgive our plundering of the earth,
our total lack of relation and reciprocity with the earth and more than human beings; as cells, mycelium, fungi and infinite processes of symbiosis
forgive us daily by giving life back when we destroy it.

And lead us not into consumerism and the devouring the earth,
but deliver us from the apathy that says nothing can be changed.
For life is kinship, relationally and reciprocity.

Now and forever. Amen.
