Praying with Pope Francis for Our Common Home

Our Common Home 26 God of Light, help us provide education in responsible simplicity of life, in grateful contemplation of your world, and in concern for the needs of the poor and the protection of the environment. Strengthen in us the personal qualities of self-control and willingness to learn from one another. Amen. Based on Pope Francis’, “On Care for Our Common Home,” Laudato Si, paragraph 214 Generous God, we depend on you for life. We thank you for this food and for all your g ifts o f creation. We ask you to bless this food. Bless all those who by their labours have provided us with these good things to share. May we always live in solidarity with those in greatest need, and do whatever we can to help them. Amen. Based on Pope Francis’, “On Care for Our Common Home,” Laudato Si, paragraph 227
