Pentecost prayer: Holy Spirit dwell in me, that I may become prayer. Whether I sleep or wake, eat or drink, labour or rest, may the fragrance of prayer rise, without effort, in my heart. Purify my soul and never leave me, so that the movements of my heart and mind may with voices full of sweetness, sing in secret to God.

Francis' Encyclical letter link: Laudato Si' "Care for our common home". ... Prayer For Our Earth (Laudato
Si)
"All-powerful God, you are present in the whole universe and in the
smallest of your creatures.
You embrace with your tenderness all that exists.
Pour out upon us the power of your love, that we may protect life
and beauty.
Fill us with peace, that we may live as brothers and sisters,
harming no one.
O God of the poor, help us to rescue the abandoned and forgotten of
this earth, so precious in your eyes.
Bring healing to our lives, that we may protect the world and not
prey on it,
that we may sow beauty, not pollution and destruction.
Touch the hearts of those who look only for gain at the expense of
the poor and the earth.
Teach us to discover the worth of each thing, to be filled with awe
and contemplation,
to recognize that we are profoundly united with every creature
as we journey towards your infinite light.
We thank you for being with us each day.
Encourage us, we pray, in our struggle for justice, love and
peace."
