Holy Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner. Have mercy on me, a weakened and battered soul. The life you have bestowed on me is hard to bear. The love which it requires of me is beyond my capabilities for loving. My soul grows weary. My passion is not strong enough to uphold the ideals you have blessed me with. My abilities are far beneath the life you have accorded me.
So Lord, build up my passion till I can fulfill my duties well. Order my mind so my thoughts are clear and my words are as honey.
Christ is in our midst!
Amen.
