A Prayer for Forgiveness
God of love, the true sun of the world, eternally risen and never going down; in your mercy shine into our hearts, that the night of sin and the mists of error being banished, we may, this day and all our life, walk without stumbling along the way which you have set before us.
Erasmus (1466-1536)
Look at me with mercy, O God,
as I meditate to know and love you more and more.
I call on you for guidance.
Where I have not fulfilled your Commandments,
I humbly kneel down in prayer for forgiveness.
Keep encouraging me, O God,
in all I do to please you.
In your mercy, O God,
where all is peace, I'll be led
not to regret but to rejoice
as in your company I get all my comfort.
Fred R Musimenta, Uganda. Prayers Encircling the World.
