Lord, hear our prayer:

Father, we are your handiwork – you designed us for goodness, love and compassion. You have made us in such a way that we can never be satisfied until we respond with love to your love, and find our freedom in total obedience to your will. Forgive us every self-righteous attitude, every condemnation of others, every time we selfishly make use of each other. Lord, out of your immense resource of grace and kindness, go on cleansing, renewing and giving us hope that, through your love, we shall be transformed into the likeness of Christ and bring glory to your name.

Amen.
