Prayer for the Gulf Oil Crisis  

Creator God, you have given us the great and gracious gift of the natural world to be our home.  Forgive us for the lack of respect we have shown this gift, for our greed and our turning from the common good.  We ask that you help us to respond to the tragedy in the Gulf as concerned citizens, as people of faith who want to cherish your Creation, and as brothers and sisters to those whose livelihoods are being destroyed as the waters of the Gulf are being contaminated.   May this tragedy be a call to us that we can no longer ignore, and may we be renewed in our efforts to promote the common good and to respect the Integrity of Creation.
