Blessed father,

As you are the God of the living, and of justice, truth, love, mercy and creation, I humbly bow before you and praise your name.
May these ideals awaken within the earth, within our hearts. May thy will and thy kingdom of heaven purify all corruption and death.
Sustain our life. Open our eyes to truth, open our ears to wisdom, move our feet to worthiness, let our spirits and temples be cleansed.
Forgive us father. Give us understanding of our wrongdoing and have mercy upon our repentance. Allow us to forgive others as graciously as you forgive us.
Father, be our rock and our shield against that which would steal our destiny or our blessings. Let not corruption overtake us. Deliver us. Allow us to be whole.
Soften our hearts. Help us to know you. Help us to know our true selves. Free us.
Help us to become light amidst a dark world. Help us feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, shelter the homeless, clothe the naked, care for the sick, visit the imprisoned.

In Jesus’ name
