Dear Father,

May we learn to be content and not to seek material riches. Let
not our craving for riches cause us to wander away from the faith
and pierce holes in our own hearts.

Help those who have an abundance of this world's goods to not be
haughty nor to put their confidence in riches. Help us to set our
hearts upon you, the living God, who richly furnishes us with
everything to enjoy.

Help us all to do good, to be rich in good works, to be liberal
and generous. May we thus lay a foundation for the future, and take
hold of the life which is life indeed.

In the name of Jesus I ask. Amen.
