Lord Jesus, who lifts up the lowly and casts down the proud, teach us to not reject that which you value, that we might not miss what is truly important and would embrace the things that form the very foundation of your kingdom, through you who dined with the poor and outcast and now reign from heaven with the Father and Holy Spirit. Amen. ‘Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures: ‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is amazing in our eyes’?”‘ – Matthew 21:42
