‍Prayers for the World

‍

• For Christians and others who are mourning the death of Pope Francis, a humble religious leader who emphasized that we are to care for the poor, immigrants and the planet.
• For the more than 2,200 lost species across 160 countries, according to Re:wild. The wildlife protection and restoration organization has compiled a list of these missing endangered species, with the hope that finding them will help with efforts to protect and restore our planet’s ecosystems.
• For the environmental justice staff at The Environmental Protection Agency, who were sent termination notices on Tuesday (Earth Day) saying their work fighting the racial justice effects of pollution, etc.no longer aligns with the mission of the agency. The reduction-in-force letters were sent to nearly 200 employees of the Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights who were placed on administrative leave in February. 
• For peace around the world including in Haiti, Yemen, Iran, Lebanon, Sudan, Nigeria, Myanmar, Russia and Ukraine.
