November – COP30 will convene in Brazil
God of Justice
As we enter this month when COP30 will convene
May all taking part in climate negotiations be mindful of the urgency of their task
And work together for the good of the poorest and the voiceless,
Communities who are crying out for action and for justice.
Be with all who are affected by weather, perhaps drought or storms
and be with those who work together to find new ways of living alongside creation in changed circumstances,
researching new crops or rewilding river systems,
using new and old technologies in harmony with creation
and refusing to exploit your world for gain
but reaching out in humility and in love for all neighbours
so that life may be lived in harmony with the colourful abundance of your world
and righteousness be the measure of our shared lives.
We pray with your son who gave His life for all
And with your spirit who inspires all creative life
Amen
