"Blessed are the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs"
Loving and merciful God, we give you thanks for all the blessings that you have given us. Thank you especially for helping us to be humble and be grateful for everything that we have received from you. Help us with your Holy Spirit so that we do not become deaf to the cry of the poor around us. May we be able to make your presence known through our charitable activities. At the end, may we gain the reward of eternal life in your Kingdom, where you live and reign, forever and ever.
Amen.
Fr. Leo Hambur, OSM
