153. For the Rich.

Ant. Trust not in uncertain riches, but in the living God, Who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.

Blessed are the poor in spirit: For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

ALMIGHTY GOD, pardon the luxury of our age, and grant that those who live in stately dwellings, and fare sumptuously every day, may be brought so to hunger and thirst after righteousness, that they may be filled with Thine everlasting sweetness, and may not be shut out from the eternal Home which Thou hast provided for such as wait upon Thee in holiness; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
