Faith communities worldwide are also encouraged to join in a global wave of prayer on 21st September by offering the following prayer that has been written specially for the UN climate summit by Archbishop Desmond Tutu … Creator God, You have called us to be keepers of your Earth; Through greed, we have established an economy that destroys the web of life. We have changed our climate and drown in despair. Let oceans of justice flow, May we learn to sustain and renew the Life of our Mother, Earth We pray for our leaders, custodians of Mother Earth, as they gather in New York City at the climate talks May they negotiate with wisdom and fairness, May they act with compassion and courage, and lead us in the path of justice for the sake of our children and our children’s children. stopclimatechaos.ie/
