For the end of all kinds of terrorism in the world, we pray.

That we may work to protect the world God has given us, we pray.

Reading: See how much God gives us, how He takes care of us in our vocation. Now at least in heart let us be poor. Let us be modest about stating our needs. "Blessed are the poor in spirit." (Mt. 5:3) May your spirit be a poor spirit. May it not be a greedy spirit, an envious spirit, a rapacious spirit. Then there is hope for you and you are blessed. You are destined to be rich-rich in Heaven. (MCM, p. 291).
