Day 12 - Tuesday
Proverbs 19:17, Matthew 25:31-46
God of all things—Creator and Sustainer of
all creation—we know that in an absolute sense You need nothing from us. You
have no need or lack at all.
But in mercy and grace, you have made many
covenants and have identified yourself with specific people, especially the
poor for whom Jesus showed such deep compassion.
Give us a heart for the poor that reflects
Jesus’ heart. Open our eyes to see the extensive needs around us. Open our
hearts for compassion, generosity, hospitality and friendship. Open our hands
so we may share in ways that generate new possibilities for fruitful and joyful
participation in the life of the community.
We will lend gladly to You by giving of
ourselves and our resources to the poor whom You love so much. Help us to do so
in love and solidarity! Amen.
