ALT An image of two women walking on road with floodwater to their side. The prayer reads: "Generous God, we thank you, for the gifts you have given for all people to share. We plant seeds of hope and nurture them as we seek a harvest of plenty for all. Forgive us for the times these seeds fail to take root our hearts. We grieve when homes and crops are washed away by floods, when lives are uprooted by disasters or trampled by fear and greed. Living God, you lead us to a new way of being. Move us to help one another in our times of need to care for the earth and to love one another, sharing your harvest with all."
ALT A cartoon image of St Francis of Assisi cradling a small sheep while a deer nudges its head against his arms. The text reads: "St Francis of Assisi" St Francis loved nature and believed God wanted people to care for creation. He called all animals his 'brothers' and 'sisters', and is said to have been able to calm wild beasts. He wrote a famous prayer giving thanks to God for the sun, the moon, the water and the earth. We can all learn from St Francis to love and look after our world and care for creation."
