You are a God of righteousness
and justice;
the earth is full of
your steadfast love.
You have given us
your beloved son,
but we have not respected
him
by following his
commands.
We live in a culture
where
money reigns supreme
and the poor are
neglected.
Help us to lead lives
worthy
of you, as we answer
your call
to enter your kingdom
and glory.
