Being Good Stewards

Cathy Melesky Dante

We pray that we may be good stewards of your creation,
Creation that holds all of us
And grows all of us.
Creation that provides food to eat
And a home for us all.
We pray that we may be good stewards of our common home.

O, God, Creator of us all,
You gave us St. Francis,
Who lived his life in solidarity with the poor
And saw the moon and the sun as his sister and brother.
We pray that we may learn from his example,
Living in harmony with Sister Moon and Brother Sun,
That, together, we may bring forward your Kingdom
To those who are most in need of your love and light.

St. Francis, please pray for us.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
