O Lord, who hast taught us that all our doings without charity are worth nothing, and that it is more blessed to give than to receive, pour into the hearts of thy people that most excellent gift of charity, and incline them to liberal offerings for the extension of thy church and the salvation of mankind; and, thus bringing forth the fruit of good works, may they by thee be plenteously re- warded, and be made partakers of thy heavenly treasure; through the merits of Jesus Christ, our most blessed Lord and Saviour. Amen.
