They desire only that we should remember the poor, the very thing which I also was eager to do.
Our hearts rejoice in You LORD; our horn is exalted in You. May we smile at our enemies, because we rejoice in Your salvation. No one is holy life You LORD, for there is none beside You. May we not talk so very proudly and let no arrogance come from our mouths. You LORD are a God of knowledge and by You our actions are weighed. You LORD make the poor and make the rich. You raise the poor from the dust and lift the beggar from the ash heap. Thank You LORD for guarding the feet of Your saints, those who walk in peace and bring glad tidings of comfort and joy. May the poor receive the hope found only in Your Son Jesus Christ. You have instructed the righteous to care about justice for the poor, unlike the wicked who have no concern. How easy it is Father to forget about the poor in our communities and across the globe. But You have invited us to live with a deep consciousness of our brothers and sisters. May our actions whether through giving, prayer or our time be generous as You have been so generous to us. Truly You have said "whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of Mine, you have done for Me." May we take joy in storing up our treasures in heaven where moth and rust cannot destroy. For where our treasure is there our hearts will be also. Dear Jesus, may our heart be found in full devotion to You forever. Amen.
