Lord of all creation, who has provided good things for all those whom you love, help us to be content with what you have given, that we would not hoard and steal from others nor find security and joy only in the things of this world but rest secure in your ways and your treasures both here and in the life to come, through Christ Jesus our Lord, who reigns with you in the Holy Spirit in glory forever. Amen.
‘Soldiers also asked him, “And we, what should we do?” He said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone by threats or false accusation, and be satisfied with your wages.”‘ – Luke 3:14
