Psalms 72,1.12-13.18-19.Of Solomon.
For he rescues the poor when they cry out, the oppressed who have no one to help. He shows pity to the needy and the poor and saves the lives of the poor. Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who alone does wonderful deeds. Blessed be his glorious name forever; may all the earth be filled with the LORD'S glory. Amen and amen.
Dear Lord, let us be the hands that feed the hungry, clothe the naked, house the homeless, attend the sick and imprisoned, and welcome the stranger. Help us to give not from our abundance, but from a piece of what we have that is really valuable to us. Money that we'll miss, time we don't think we have, compassion that is deep within us, past the hard shell of our false self, where your Divine Love dwells in us. From this well of living water, let us nourish the poor and oppressed, and in the process bring us closer to sweet union with You, Sweet Spirit, our Lord and our God. Amen
