Prayer for a World Renewed

O God,
our creator and sustainer,
we pray to you:
We want to celebrate life.

We cry out against all that kills life:
hunger, poverty, unemployment,sickness,
debt, repression, individualism,
abuse of the earth, injustice,
and all other forms of slavery.

We want to announce fullness of life:
work, education, health, housing,
safe environment, bread for all.

We want communion, solidarity,
a world renewed.
We hope against hope.
With the God of history,
We want to make things new again.
