Thought from Fr. Colm - 15th September 2024

Laudate Deum prayer


A prayer inspired by the Apostolic Exhortation Laudate Deum

released by Pope Francis on 4 October 2023.



Laudate Deum,

O God we praise you, for the world sings of your infinite love.

Forgive us our failure to agree a way forward to protect this earth

and our children's future.

For the way the powerful shelter behind their wealth,

while the poorest people are disregarded and the earth is at breaking point.

Guide our leaders to set aside their own interests in the interest of us all

and grant us all the courage to turn our concern into change.

Strengthen our faith and let us never lose hope

so together we may rise up responding to the urgent call

of your people and all creation.

Amen.


Prayer: Catherine Gorman/CAFOD
