For the Poor and Needy
O GOD, our heavenly Father, in Whom we live and move and have our being, have mercy upon all who are in poverty and distress. Be Thou their succour and defence, provide them with food and clothing sufficient for their bodily needs, and grant them day by day to cast all their care upon Thee. Help us in some way to help them; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
