Serve the Poor

Columban Daily Prayer
November 17, 2025

Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, you forsook
earthly riches to serve the poor and suffering.
Inspire us to follow your example
of radical charity and compassion.
Open our eyes to see the face of Christ
in those who are hungry, homeless, and forgotten.
Give us generous hearts that respond to need
without counting the cost, and help us
to find joy in serving others.
May our acts of kindness be seeds of hope
in a world marked by inequality and indifference.
Through your intercession, may we grow in holiness
through service.

Amen.
