Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

[From Worship Resources Year B: Beginning Advent 2014 up to Advent 2015, Herald Publishing House, 2014, p. 250]

Faithful disciples respond to an increasing awareness of the abundant generosity of God.
Lord, make us aware of your continuing generosity.

Share according to the desires of your hearts, not by commandment of constraint.
Lord, help us to open our hearts and share in our complete capacity.

Break free of the shackles of conventional culture which promote self-serving interests.
Lord, help us pull away from the trappings of our culture.

Give generously according to your true capacity.
Lord, help us to respond to the abundance that has been provided to us.

Eternal joy and peace await you who grow in the grace of generosity that flows from compassionate hearts without thought of return.
Lord, continue to break our hearts for those in need, and allow us to give freely.

It could be no other way in the domain of God, who gives all for the sake of creation.
Lord, we are blessed continually by your generosity. Let our generosity bless others.
