Let us pray for all farmers, laborers and gardeners who grow food for their families and for the peoples of the world. Let us pray for favorable weather conditions that will provide optimum growing seasons and for an end to droughts. Let us pray and work for food and safe drinking water for everyone on planet Earth, especially those most in need. Let us pray and work for fair wages for all, especially farm laborers. Let us pray and work to plan and cultivate seeds of education, equality, kindness, fairness, compassion, spirituality, community, care of the sick and poor, generosity and care of Our Home: Earth.
Let us pray …
Amen.
