Generous God, you lavish us with plenty. In hope we pray:
God, teach us your ways.
Prosper the work of philanthropy and charitable organizations.
God, teach us your ways.
Awaken us to the plight of those who are without homes, food, or clean water.
God, teach us your ways.
Open our minds to engage with the teachings of Pope Francis and his predecessors in our care for the earth.
God, teach us your ways.
Our Father . . .
May the Spirit of God guard us through the night and fill our hearts with peace, through Jesus, the Light of the World. Amen.
