King of heaven, who reigns over all, both rich and poor, open our eyes to the value of every person and not merely those that the world values, that we might receive the gifts you have given to those the world rejects and honor all who bless your name as beloved children of their Father, through your son our Lord, who died that all might live and now reigns with you and the Spirit in glory forever. Amen.
‘Listen, my beloved brothers and sisters. Has not God chosen the poor in the world to be rich in faith and to be heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him?’ – James 2:5
