Laudato Si' Week 2022
Prayer

Loving God,
your mercy towers to the heavens,
and your faithfulness to the skies.
May your love temper our desire for more.
May your love shape lifestyles that
lead to life for all.
May your love guide our steps
towards sustainability.
May your love be enough.

We make this prayer in the name of Jesus,
our risen Lord,
through the power of the Holy Spirit,
now and for ever.
Amen.
Action


 
Assess where you have power or influence for procurement e.g., at work, school or in parish life.  Research available ethical purchasing guides that address your regular purchases, for example food, clothing, and energy, and follow their advice.
Before purchasing anything, ask: Do I need this?  Will this make me happy?  Whose lives will be impacted by this purchase?  Where are there opportunities for me to make a change?

Actions could include reducing waste, recycling, and adopting sustainable practices across your life e.g., using fair trade products, sustainable dietary habits, greater use of public transport, walking and cycling, and avoiding single use items.
