Prayer of Responsibility and Hope

Lord; I am so sorry that we are such course unfeeling beings, that we cannot recognize you when you come into our presence.  We are so blind in so many ways and yet you offer us your unconditional love and truth even though it pains you to see our wretched condition. Forgive us Lord, for the hurt and pain we caused you as we drove the nails through your hands and feet, and raised you on the cross. Forgive us for the humiliation we subjected you to when we scourged you and mocked you with robes of purple, and placed a crown of thorns upon your brow. We know now that the shame and the humiliation are ours and not yours. Yet even now today, we continue to disrespect and abuse your Divine Love and Divine Wisdom as it manifests itself in our lives; in the lives of unborn babes and in the poor and the weak, and the sick and the oppressed.  Still we continue to abuse and ignore your Divine Word, which is so beautiful in the way it can guide us and support us and teach us to live with one another in harmony and peace. Lord, we pray that your love will reach the hard hearts of mankind and soften them so they will dream of peace and not of war.

 

 Lord Jesus, help us to understand that evil is nothing but the absence of good and falsity is naught but the absence of truth, and where love and truth reigns in the hearts of men, then evil and falsity, with its pain and sorrow cannot abide and soon departs; and what is false and foolish cannot affect the mind that rests in you.

 

Oh Lord. Reach out to me and take me in your arms, enfold me with your love, and clothe me in your truth. I love you Lord. I am so thankful for every act of love that I can share, and I feel so blessed with all I have. Be with me God, for now and evermore. Amen
