“O God,
You have sown the seed of love in my heart
but I have not watered it with my tears—
Lord, forgive.
You have shown me hungry children and I have fed only my friends—
Lord, forgive.
You have shown me the homeless
and I have cared only for my own home—
Lord, forgive.
You have shown me the naked
but I have only clothed myself—
Lord, forgive.
You have shown me the wounded
and I have been only concerned with my own pain—
Lord, forgive.
You have shown me the friendless
and I have nurtured my own friendships—
Lord, forgive.
You have shown me the bereaved
and I have sought out others to comfort me—
Lord, forgive.
You have shown me those who do not know your love
and I have failed to share that which you have given me—
Lord, forgive and help me to obey.”
