Christian Reflection and Prayer

Verse

Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift,
is from above.  James 1:17

Voice

Tell me then, how is that you are rich? ... The root and
origin of it must have been injustice. Why? Because
God in the beginning did not make one person rich and
another poor. He left the earth free to all alike.
John Chrysostom

Prayer

Lord, keep us from speaking of love while hoarding the
gifts you have given us. Make us full of discontent as
long as there are brothers and sisters living and dying
in hunger. Amen.
Common Prayer
