God,
Help us recognize our failings
and forgive us our faults.
Give us the grace to resist
the influence of affluence.
God,
Bestow on us the blessing
of resting assured
in the comfort
of your compassion.
God,
We treasure the opportunity
to serve wholly,
and we look forward
to doing your will.
God,
We pray for
the good, the bad, and the unknown,
as we promote peace
among all peoples.
Make it so
