154. For the Increase of Liberality in them.

O GOD, Who in the ample provision of Thy bounty hast appointed that all men should minister one to another of those gifts which Thou hast bestowed upon them; Have mercy upon all such as neglect to use the wealth of the world for the wants of their brethren, and grant that they, remembering the account which they must one day give respecting those talents entrusted to their stewardship, may be brought by Thy grace to poverty of spirit, and may attain to the kingdom of heaven; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
