From the text:

"Creator God, you made the world –
oceans and mountains, cliffs and clouds. . .
You created us to be your children, your own . . .
but some of your children have no food to eat.
Their bowls are empty, and they are afraid.

Feed them, God, we pray,

and make us hungry to help. . . .
Teach us to forgive when others wrong us . . .
Wash us clean in holy rain. . .

You made the sun, the moon, and all the shimmering stars.
Your holy hand rocks the cradle of night. . .

Be the breath we breathe.
Be the beating of our hearts.
Amen.
