<DIV>Let us pray:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>God of all riches,<BR>rich in beauty, goodness and love,<BR>you call us to
share in your wealth.<BR>However, we have been distracted,<BR>sidetracked by
selfish wants.<BR>Empower us to let go our false selves,<BR>so that we may have
true riches<BR>through Jesus Christ our Lord, <BR>who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, <BR>one God for ever and ever. Amen</DIV>
