Luke 16: 1-18 "People not Profit"
A prayer, in the form of a collect, based on a bible reading for today.
A collect based on Luke 16: 1-18
Christ, who loved people not profit,
You creatively fostered friendship with the disadvantaged.
When comfort leads to sloth and a failure to alleviate suffering and indebtedness,
Inspire us to befriend all the wrong people for all the right reasons.
Amen
I hope you find this prayer a useful way to reflect and respond to the parable of the shrewd manager. The painting today is “The Unjust Steward” by the Kazakhstan Artist, Nelly Bube (See also the collect for Luke 12: 13-21)
With peace and best wishes, Steve
