We pray today for the preservation of our natural environment, especially the Gulf of Mexico and the lands and waters it touches: Guide those who labor to contain the oil that endangers the creatures of sea and land; Strengthen those who work to protect them; Have mercy on those whose livelihoods will suffer; Forgive us for our carelessness in using the resources of nature, and give us wisdom and reverence so to manage them in the future, that no one may suffer from our abuse of them, and that generations yet to come may continue to praise you for your bounty; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
This prayer for the oil crisis in the Gulf Of Mexico is offered by the Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast, the Rev. Canon Beverly Gibson, Sub-Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Mobile Alabama, author. For more on the Crisis, and the pastoral response of our Church see www.diocgc.org
Bishop Katherine, an Oceanographer and our Presiding Bishop Reflects on the meaning of the enormous oil spill spreading over the Gulf.
