Fourth prayer: Prayer of commitment
(U.N. Environmental Sabbath Program)
We join with the Earth and with each other
to bring new life to the land
to restore the waters
to refresh the air.
We join with the Earth and with each other
to renew the forests
to care for the plants
to protect the creatures.
We join with the Earth and with each other
to celebrate the seas
to rejoice into the sunlight
to sing the song of the stars.
We join with the Earth and with each other
to recreate the human community
to promote justice and peace
to remember our children.
We join with the Earth and with each other
we join together as many and diverse expressions
of one loving mystery: for the healing of the Earth
and the renewal of all life.
