Gospel Reading: Luke 12:32-40
Gospel Reading: Luke 12:32-40
Help us, Generous One, to trust that You will fulfill your promise to make us participants of your reign. Help us to trust that You will provide adequately for our needs. From that trust, enable us to share the resources You have given, in thankful and generous ways, with our neighbors.
Enable us to value what You value. Enable us to pursue and treasure things that are enduring. May your will be done in our lives, each day, with hearts full of gratitude and joy.
Forgive us when we are diverted by other values and chase after other gods. Forgive us when we close our hearts toward our neighbors, and refuse to share what You have given.
Forgive us when we forget the life that You have created us for and for which You provide the guidance of your Spirit, and many other resources.
Help us to live in constant readiness for your presence. Help us to act as good stewards of the many resources You have provided in order to enrich our neighbors and renew your creation. We await, with hope, the full arrival of your reign among us. Amen.
Amen
