PRAYER FOR OUR WORLD

All-loving God, in the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic, hear our cries of compassion and heal our world and all creatures. 

Inspire our hearts with a holy imagination so that we will rise up, freed from the demands to produce and consume, and be able to imagine a just and sustainable way of living, where all will have enough and all may be restored.
