September 2025 Prayer Points

/in , /by

As we finish Season of Creation and remember St Francis, we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis Laudato Si’ and pray that church interventions may once more inspire action from countries at the UN climate talks. We pray for countries formulating their climate plans, for people affected by extreme weather, and for financial institutions to put in safeguards around their loans for transition mineral mining. We also give thanks for Fairtrade and its example of small changes leading to larger change.

August 2025 Prayer Points

/in , /by

A one-time bumper edition of the prayer points. There is much to pray for in intercession and lament – particularly around climate impacts, reductions in aid, and government action against climate science and renewable energy in the US. But there are also things for which to give thanks: the fast-moving renewables revolution worldwide, the International Court of Justice advisory opinion on states’ obligations, and the actions of climate heroes among them. Join us in prayer!

We remember and give thanks for Pope Francis and his work on integrating faith, love of neighbour and love of creation. We listen for the ‘cry of the earth and the cry of the poor’ and pray for change. We look at how care for creation relates to trade, debt, and conflict. We pray for climate scientists and for forthcoming elections. And we give thanks for innovations and developments that offer hope!

January 2025 Prayer Points

/in , /by

As 2025 begins, we look back at the toll of climate impacts in 2024 and pray for all affected. We pray that negotiations that ended with disagreement and disappointment in 2024 may continue with greater success in 2025. We pray for the International Court of Justice, as it prepares an advisory notes on states’ climate obligations, and for the United States, as it enters a second Trump presidency. And we give thanks for evidence of a clean energy transition that is gathering pace in a way goes beyond the capacity of any one administration to stop.
