For Social Responsibility
Sentence
You O God have not despised or abhorred the poor in their affliction, but you heard them when they called to you.	Psalm 22:24
Collects
Gracious and everloving God,
your Son has taught us
that what we do for anyone else however unimportant
we do for you;
give us the determination to be the servant of others
as he was servant of all,
who gave up his life for love of us,
but lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

God, you are justice and peace;
to the powerful give a conscience,
to the oppressed, strength,
to the rich give generosity,
to the poor, security;
guide us in your way, not ours;
let your kingdom come.
Psalms	72:1-4,12-14	146
