SEPTEMBER 1 - WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE CARE OF CREATION


Pope Francis established September 1 as the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, encouraging the Catholic community around the world to pray for our common home.

The annual Day of Prayer is inspired by his landmark encyclical Laudato Si’, which calls on "every person living on this planet" to care for our shared earth.

PRAYER FOR THE CARE OF CREATION

Father, we praise you with all your creatures.
They came forth from your all-powerful hand;
they are yours, filled with your presence and your tender love.
Praise be to you!

Son of God, Jesus, through you all things were made.
You were formed in the womb of Mary our Mother,
You became part of this earth,
and you gazed upon this world with human eyes.
Today you are alive in every creature in your risen glory.
Praise be to you!

Holy Spirit, by your light
you guide this world towards the Father’s love
and accompany creation as it groans in travail.
You also dwell in our hearts
and you inspire us to do what is good.
Praise be to you!

Triune Lord, wondrous community of infinite love,
teach us to contemplate you in the beauty of the universe,
for all things speak of you.
Awaken our praise and thankfulness for every being that you have made.
Give us the grace to feel profoundly joined to everything that is.
God of love, show us our place in this world
as the channels of your love for all creatures of this earth,
for not one of them is forgotten in your sight.

Enlighten those who possess power and money
that they may avoid the sin of indifference,
that they may love the common good, advance the weak,
and care for this world in which we live.
The poor and the earth are crying out.

O Lord, seize us with your power and light, help us to protect all life,
to prepare for a better future, for the coming of your Kingdom Of justice,
peace, love and beauty.
Praise be to you!

Amen.


‘Prayer for union with creation’ was published in Pope Francis’ encyclical letter, Laudato Si. This prayer is for Christians to pray for inspiration to take up the commitment to creation set before us by the Gospel of Jesus.

Talba qawwija ta' tifħir lil Alla għall-ħolqien li tana miktuba minn San Franġisk
http://thechurchinmalta.org/mt/posts/77490/talba-qawwija-ta-tifhir-lil-alla-ghall-holqien-li-tana-miktuba-minn-san-frangisk
  • ... F'din il-ġurnata huwa xieraq li nitfakkru fil-kliem ta' San Franġisk u nfaħħru lil Alla għall-ħolqien li tagħna, billi nwiegħdu li nagħmel il-parti tagħna biex inkunu protetturi ta' dak li tatna.
  • L-Aktar Għoli, Mulej twajjeb, li tista’ kollox
    tiegħek is-sebħ, il-glorja u l-gieħ u kull barka.
    Lilek biss, l-Aktar Għoli, jixirqu
    u l-ebda bniedem mhu denn imqar ilissen.
    Tifħir lilek, Mulejja, għall-ħlejqa kollha,
    l-aktar oħtna x-xemx,
    li twelled il-jum u biha tagħti d-dawl
    u hija sbejħa u tgħammex b’dija sfiqa!
    Tixbaħ lilek, l-Aktar Għoli.
    Tkun imfaħħar,
    Mulejja, f’ħuna l-qamar u l-kwiekeb,
    li fis-sema sawwarthom ileqqu, għonja u sbieħ.
    Tkun imfaħħar,
    Mulejja, f’ħuna r-riħ,
    u fl-ajru msaħħab, fil-bnazzi u f’kull xorta ta’ temp,
    li bihom int tgħajjex kull maħluq.
    Tkun imfaħħar,
    Mulejja, f’ħuna l-ilma,
    hekk meħtieg u umli, siwi u safi.
    Tkun imfaħħar,
    Mulejja, f’ħuna n-nar,
    li bih, int, iddawwal il-lejl,
    hu sbejjaħ u lagħbi, robust u qawwi.
    Tkun imfaħħar,
    Mulejja, f’oħtna u ommna l-art,
    li tgħajjixna u tmexxina,
    u tagħti kull xorta ta’ frott ma’ ward u ħxejjex imlewna.
    Tkun imfaħħar, Mulejja,
    f’min lest jaħfer għal imħabbtek,
    u f’min iġarrab mard u tbatija.
    Hienja dawk jġarrbu kollox fis-sliem
    għax minnek, l-Aktar Għoli, ikunu inkurunati.
    Tkun imfaħħar,
    Mulejja, f’oħtna l-mewt tal-ġisem,
    li minnha l-ebda ħaj ma jista’ jaħrab.
    Ħażin għal min imut fid-dnub il-mejjet.
    Hienja dawk li l-mewt issibhom jagħmlu r-rieda mqaddsa tiegħek,
    għax il-mewt l-oħra ma tagħmlilhom l-ebda ħsara.
    Faħħru u bierku, il-Mulej, u roddlu ħajr
    u aqduh bl-akbar umiltà.
