Gentle shepherd, who knows us better than we know ourselves, show us where our hearts are attached too much to passing things, that we might be better able to release our grip and receive the good gifts of heaven, through Jesus our teacher, who showed us your ways and speaks of you still through the Holy Spirit whom you have given. Amen.
‘And he said to them, “Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.”‘ – Luke 12:15
