O Lord, give me the generous heart that is ready to give of its best for the service of others. All I have of time, or talent, or money, comes from Thee. Let me not be unwilling to spend a due share of these for those who need it. Let me be quick to perceive when others do well, and give them their just need of credit and praise. Let me be ready to forgive slights and slow to perceive them when they are offered me. Help me to be generous to those who do not attract me, or who seem to me to be undeserving. For Jesus Christ's Sake. Amen.
