Today on #InternationalDayWorldIndigenousPeoples  we celebrate the diversity of indigenous communities in the Brazilian Amazon

We join in prayer today with those to struggle to make their voice heard.

Prayer
We see you

God of light and life,

we see you in the rising sun,

the golden fields of new daffodils,

and the feel of a spring shower.

Help us to see your light reflected throughout creation.

God of compassion,

you are there with those people

who are facing the effects of a changing climate,

and are affected by floods, droughts and famine.

Show us how to be there with them too.

God of truth and justice,

you hear those people around the world,

who struggle to make their voices heard.

Open our ears and the ears of those in power

to hear the cries of those living in poverty.

God of hope,

we see you in people who refuse to give up,

who will not lose faith and keep on fighting,

for your earth and for your people.

Lift us, so that we may never lose hope.

Amen

Prayer: Lord, I come to do your will

Lord, allow my ears to listen to the cry of the earth,

the voices of my sisters and brothers,

those who face the hash reality of climate change.

Lord, I come do your will.

 

Lord, allow my eyes to see the beauty of creation.

In flowers, creatures, forests, and cities alike.

Lord, I come do your will.

 

Lord, allow my voice to speak out for justice,

and ensure people living in poverty are heard.

Lord, I come do your will.

 

Lord, allow my hands to care for the earth,

To toil, to recap, to celebrate.

Lord, I come do your will.

 

Lord, allow my feet to take the path less trod,

to walk the extra mile,

to take your message out to the world

Lord, I come do your will.

Transfiguration

Jesus is transformed on the mountain. His friends look with awe, as his clothes shine as brightly as the sun.

May we be inspired to change and transform our ways, to support our global brothers and sisters on the feast of the #transfiguration

Prayer: For a better world

For the people whose lives have touched ours,
for the love they show,
the burdens they lift,
the hopes we share.

Compassionate God, we ask you:
to fill us with your love,
to place in our hearts a spirit of courage,
to move us to reach out to others in need.

And lead us to play our part,
so that now and in generations to come
all your children may share
in our hope for a better world.

We ask this through Christ our Lord,

Amen
