A
SINNER'S PRAYER FOR GOD'S MERCY
In the spirit of St Francis and St
Dominic
May God our King deign to grant us
his mercy
Behind our bluster may he perceive
our pain
Behind our shouting our
weeping
Behind our guilt our
innocence
Behind our ignorance our ache for
wisdom
Behind our drunkenness our thirst
for forgiveness
Behind our lovelessness our craving
for affection
Behind our impurity our pained
self-reproach
Behind our complacency the pangs of
uncertainty
Behind our pretence the sincerity
we fear to show
Behind our rejection our yearning
for eternal redemption.
Behind our defiance the regret for
our
disobedience to our
Redeemer
May God compassionately console all
those we have disappointed and
heal all hearts we have
broken
May God graciously forgive us our
every sin and transgression
May God mercifully allow all of us
together in heaven one day to sing his
praises in his glorious
presence
May God's divine and infinite ocean
of mercy for sinners be glorified
forever.
Amen
