We who trust in our
wealth, in the abundance of our riches—
can we not afford to
take care of the poor and the alien?
Lord Jesus, strengthen
our hearts in good works,
that in everything we may do to others
as we would have them do to us.

and boast of the abundance of their riches?
and boast of the abundance of their riches?

to the very edges of your field, or gather the gleanings of your harvest; you
shall leave them for the poor and for the alien: I am the LORD your God.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father,
who loved us and through grace gave us eternal comfort and good

you; for this is the law and the prophets.
