Grant, Almighty God, that we may learn to rely on you and so trust your blessing that we would avoid stealing and plunder and all other evil deeds. Keep us from all unlawful coveting. Help us to fear you and so learn to bear our poverty on earth by being content with the spiritual riches you offer us in your gospel. As partakers in that Good News, may we cheerfully aspire to that fullness of all blessings, which we shall enjoy when we are perfectly united to you through Christ our Lord. Amen.
