Our
Father in heaven, we thank You for your forgiveness of our manifold
sins. Again and again You call to us when we have wandered from your
ways, and stubbornly separate ourselves
from your Love. We repent of the evil we have done, and the evil that is
done on our behalf, and the very real hurt we have caused.
Forgive us when we place our selves as an idol in the sanctuary of our
hearts, which should be dedicated to worship of You alone, O Redeemer.
Help us to acknowledge the sins done because we do not try to prevent them, and arouse in us the will to take action.
Teach us that the root of righteousness and salvation is found in fully opening our hearts to each other and to You.
Help us clothe ourselves and our motives in charity and obedience, O
Christ. Help us direct our wills to the establishment of justice and
peace.
Come into our hearts, O Spirit, and guide us in matters great and small, for your Love heals all our woundedness.
O Loving One, hear our prayers and grant your benediction and grace to those whose needs we now raise before You.
Amen.
