We give thanks for the wisdom and knowledge you bestow on scientists
who work at revealing the secrets of creation.

Let us find God and do good for all those Australians who struggle.
Let us continue your saintly work in our own lives.

On this winter’s day we are warmed by the beauty of this place in which we live,
By the company of family and friends, by our passion for justice and peace.

O Creator,

Our world is large, and yet the global community is so fragile.

We glimpse the needs of our sisters and brothers,

And those needs are great.
