Holy Lord, whose kingdom is not of this world, keep us from trusting and being fixated on the things of this earth and this present life, but grant us your perspective, one that reaches to eternity and bears your values and thinks of your ways, through Christ our savior, who showed us the way and ascended to you to reign forever in the Holy Spirit. Amen.
‘Then he looked up at his disciples and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. … But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.”‘ – Luke 6:20, 24
