Prayers

Written by The Rev. John Widdows, Episcopal Diocese of Maine

As the catastrophic oil accident in the Gulf continues, O God, for the wonders of technology, we give you thanks.

For the limits of technology we pray for awareness.  
For the arrogance of technology, when it harms your Creation, we pray for humility.  
For the victims of this technology, we pray for forgiveness.  
For the recklessness which prevents careful preparation for accident, we pray with repentance and for enlightenment. 

And for our capacity to learn from this huge mistake and to minister compassionately as a society to those harmed by it, we give you thanks.    

Amen.
