LITANY OF FORGIVENESS

William Rabior, © 2001

Excerpted from Prayers for Later Years

Scrupulous Anonymous, Vol. 56, # 2, February 2019

For the times I lacked compassion

and concern for others –

forgive me, Lord.

For my failures to pray

and take the time to talk to you –

forgive me, Lord.

For not sharing my resources:

my time, talent, and treasure –

forgive me, Lord.

For holding grudges and refusing

to have a forgiving heart –

forgive me, Lord.

For the times I have criticized and gossiped –

forgive me, Lord.

For not caring for myself

physically, emotionally, and spiritually –

forgive me, Lord.

For the ways I misused nature

and damaged the environment –

forgive me, Lord.

For my prejudices, biases,

and deliberate acts of discrimination –

forgive me, Lord.

For failing to see your face

in the homeless and the helpless –

forgive me, Lord.

For believing I could save myself –

forgive me, Lord.

For not living fully for you –

forgive me, Lord.

For my lack of faith, hope, and love –

forgive me, Lord.

For doubting that you can

and will forgive me unconditionally –

forgive me, Lord.

For doubting that you love me

with an everlasting love –

forgive me, Lord.

Amen.
