Pondo ng Pinoy Prayer
Lord Jesus, you taught us that the Kingdom of God is like the mustard seed, the smallest of all seeds. Yet when grown, it becomes a big tree where birds play and make their nests.
Lord, in this spirit, Pondo ng Pinoy lives its vision. Little acts of kindness done with constancy realize your Kingdom here and now.
Through these little acts we reach out to the little ones, the least, the lost and the last in our community.
We hope to uplift the lives of the poor, create opportunities that can change their lives, and free them from misery.
We hope to be an instrument of your love by caring for them.
Thus, Pondo ng Pinoy teaches us that charity is an act that starts small and done with consistency in order to be effective and true.
On the other hand, the same spirit of Pondo ng Pinoy teaches us that these little acts of kindness are life-changing not only to the receiver but also to the giver.
The constancy of sharing molds our being into a person that you want us to be, living in charity and love.
By giving with regularity the giver learns to empty himself/herself and creates a space for others in his/her heart consciously.
By sharing even just a “crumb” everyday, the giver grows healthier and stronger in charity.
Thus, in Pondo ng Pinoy, we do not only share but by giving we also receive.
Lord, help us, as we try to live the spirit of Pondo ng Pinoy, to realize your Kingdom here on earth and attain fullness of life in the here and now.
Amen.
