Prayer for the Offering
(inspired by Hebrews 13: 1-8, 15-16 and Luke
14: 7-14)
O
God,
you invite us to participate in a hospitality which is something else!
Help us not only to accept it with thanksgiving,
but to freely share it with those whose lives are restricted or crushed
by the meanness of this world.
Make us not only receivers
but generous and unpretentious givers.
To the glory of your name, through Christ Jesus.
Amen!
