Monthly Prayer
Good Father, the cry of the earth
strikes in the Heart of your Son Jesus,
and cries out to us "I want mercy and not sacrifices".
Our Common Home implores us
a bold and radical change in our way of life.
We need courage, and a holy indignation
to commit ourselves to a cultural change
that welcomes the cry of the earth and the poor.
We need the fire of your Holy Spirit
to burn in our hearts,
to contemplate and give thanks,
to welcome and to care,
so that we may all feel as one in you.
May our gestures of love and care
for everyone and everything, rise up to You
as a universal prayer of adoration,
Of thanksgiving and forgiveness.
May our daily living reflect a temperate, and modest lifestyle
that moderates how excessively greedy we tend to be with the world and each other.
May we embrace this cry for help
transforming it with our decisions
into a loving and consoling melody.
Amen
