First Sunday of Advent Prayer from Archbishop Thabo

Spirit of God, You established the dance of Creation;

bring life out of death
bring order out of chaos.
Call us to radical action:
to care for the web of Creation
to share our resources justly

and to work for the renewal of our Mother, Earth.
We light this candle as we commit ourselves to fast and pray for climate justice.

Archbishop Thabo Makgoba, Cape Town

Archbishop Thabo has written this prayer for the first Sunday of Advent, to be used as people light the first Advent candle.
