Creation Collects for Easter 4, Year A:

Stalwart shepherd of our souls, gaze intently upon us and this whole world you have created. Protect the dispossessed and the poor in spirit, lift up the downtrodden, and strengthen us all for service in your name, for you are the living Christ, who with the Creator and the Sustainer, lives and reigns now and forever. Amen.

Creating One, all that is came into being through your Naming: skies and planets, oceans and dry land. Your creating spirit is honored as we live with integrity toward all life. Shape our lives to be shepherds in your image, that all may be safe and nurtured under our watchful care, in the name of the Shepherd, Jesus who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one for all eternity. Amen.
