The Bible tells us true religion is showing God’s love for all people, standing up to injustice, indifference and poverty.

From the beginning, God has called people to care for their neighbours, the needy near and far, feed the hungry, free the oppressed etc. As individual Christians and together as the Church today we pray:

To you O Lord we bring our lives, troubled, broken or at ease, an offering for you to use.

Take away our selfishness; teach us to love as you loved.

Take away our sense of pride; show us the meaning of humility.

Take away our blindness; show us the world through your eyes.

Take away our greed; teach us how to give as you gave.

Show us your ways, teach us your paths, that we might walk with you more closely, our hand in your hand, our feet in your footsteps, from the baby in a stable to eternity.’ Amen

with love and prayers
