Almighty God, we thank you and praise you for you are the creator and sustainer of your
creation. You have placed innumerable resources in the universe all that we need for our
sustenance and growth. We beseech you to help us to overcome our greed and un-ending
desire for the things of the world. Help us to value our fellow human beings rather than the
things which can never satisfy us. Transform us to become agents of love, peace and justice,
through your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you, and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and ever.Amen
