Absorption in one’s own interests causes the heart to grow hard and die. Let us pray for the gift of life for all our brothers and sisters.
Lord of life, grant life to all. For those that are rich in this world’s goods grant that they may find blessing in generosity to the poor and hungry. For those who are rich in the gifts of the mind, grant that they may find blessing in putting their abilities to work for the common good. For those who are rich in the gifts of the heart, grant that they may find blessing by loving those who are unlovable and unloved.
