O Holy One,
humanity inherited your creation
here on Earth,
and defile this holy temple,
have brought it all to ruin.
Your messengers are slaughtered,
blood runs rivers on this ravaged
Earth –
we are a mockery, our descendants
will look on us with shame.
How long, O Holy One?
Will you be angry forever?
Hear the voices of the contrite,
heed our plea for help.
Hold humanity to account – not ransom –
restore your Earthly temple.
Remember us not for the mistakes
our ancestors – even we – have made,
but meet us with your compassion;
we are brought so very, very, low.
Help us, Holy One of restoration,
deliver us, forgive humanity,
for your own names' sake:
restore your Earth to life.
Amen.
