God of infinite love,
I thank you for this reminder of your love and your call that we be more patient, gentle and compassionate with others. I turn to you to beg for your help. Please soften my heart. Help me to let go of judging others. I ask you this, in Jesus' name. Amen.
Merciful God,
Free us from the sins of this world and protect us from the evil we see and the evil we prefer to ignore. We need your guidance, Lord for we cannot do this alone. Only with your help can we be saved. Thank you for your desire to save us and love us. Amen.
Loving Father,
So many times I turn away from you and always you welcome me back. Your mercy and love gives me confidence. Thank you for the invitation to share and pray so that you can form a new heart within me. Your powerful compassion for my weaknesses leads me to ask for mercy and await with great hope the Easter joy you share with us. Amen.
God of infinite love,
You shower me with limitless gifts in my life. In my every thought and action today guide me to the bright and loving light of your kingdom. Help me to be aware of the many ways you allow me to share in your life so intimately today. Thank you for the gifts you have placed in my life. Let me be grateful every moment of this day. Amen.
Loving God, Caring parent,
I am a child who so often turns my back on your love. Please help to release me from the self-absorption that closes my heart to you. As I journey through life, let me remember the feast you have prepared for me in the resurrection and let me be filled with thanks to you. Amen.
Loving God,
I hear your invitation, "Come back to me" and I am filled with such a longing to return to you. Show me the way to return. Lead me this day in good works I do in your name and send your Spirit to guide me and strengthen my faith. I ask to feel your love in my life today. Amen.
God of Love,
Through this journey, purify my desires to serve you. Free me from any temptations to judge others, to place myself above others. Please let me surrender even my impatience with others, that with your love and your grace, I might be less and less absorbed with myself, and more and more full of the desire to follow you, in laying down my life according to your example. Amen.
God in heaven and in my life,
Guide me and protect me. I so often believe I can save myself and I always end in failure. Lead me with your love away from harm and guide me on the right path. May your Spirit inspire the Church and make us an instrument of your love and guidance. Thank you for your care for me. Amen.
