Heavenly Father,
We thank you and we praise you.

Enlighten our hearts to your generosity that
we may give of ourselves sacrificially,
knowing that what we give will be pleasing to you.
Inspire in us Lord, to be your witnesses of
joyful giving and sharing your truth,
beauty, and goodness with everyone we encounter.
We ask all this in your name Lord Jesus.
Amen.
