Breath of Life, from whom all order was created, the whole of creation bears witness to you.
Teach us to respect all creatures, increase our gratitude for your loving providence.
Forgive us for our insensitivity and carelessness with the environment.
Instigate us to fight for socio-environmental preservation and for the end of the climate crisis, taking care and working for the preservation of species and the maintenance of life on earth,
as living proof of our conversion to the way of Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and with the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
By Bishop Marinez Bassotto, Primate of the Anglican Church in Brazil and Bishop of Amazonia, a global partner of the Diocese of St Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane, and whose Cathedral is in Belem, the city where COP 30 is gathering.
