During the climate conference, let us pray for world leaders who are present to make decisions that will protect the planet and all who live within it – human and other than human. CAFOD UK (Catholic Agency for Overseas Development) has composed some prayers you might like to use during these days (31 October – 12 November).
Loving God,
We praise your name with all you have created.
You are present in the whole universe,
and in the smallest of creatures.
We acknowledge the responsibilities you have placed upon us
as stewards of your creation.
May the Holy Spirit inspire all political leaders at COP26 as they
seek to embrace the changes needed to foster a more sustainable society.
Instil in them the courage and gentleness to implement fairer solutions
for the poorest and most vulnerable,
and commit their nations to the care of Our Common Home.
We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ your Son.
Amen
