Lord God Almighty, shield of the weak, help us always to remember the needs of the poor, that we would care for those on whom you eye is ever fixed and so share your heart that desires good for all and opposes those who have no care for others, through Christ our redeemer, who sacrificed his life for us when we had no salvation and now reigns with you and the Holy Spirit in glory forever. Amen.
‘Hear this, you who trample on the needy, and bring to ruin the poor of the land… The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob: Surely I will never forget any of their deeds.’ – Amos. 8:4, 7
