Holy Lord, who created all things for the good of your children, keep us from miserliness and the hoarding of your gifts, that we would give to those in need and allow our goods to flow freely from our hands in the name of doing good to all those whom you love, through Christ our redeemer, who gave of himself and was elevated to the highest place at your right hand in the Holy Spirit. Amen.
‘And the crowds asked him, “What, then, should we do?” In reply he said to them, “Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none, and whoever has food must do likewise.”‘ – Luke 3:10-11
