Help up with your right hand, O Lord, and answer us. (Responsorial Psalm today.)
Help us, dear Father, to see more our many sins than the tiny sins of others; Help us, dear Father, to control our lips in being so quick to judge and speak so much of others; Help us, dear Father, to change our ways and leave our sins.
So many times in life when bad things happen to us, we look on others to blame, including you, O Lord, without looking first into our very selves at how we have indulged in evil and sins that started so small that we have dismissed as simple and nothing at all.
Forgive us, Father, in always blaming others without ever looking into our hearts and ways that have been so disordered and strayed from your paths of love and justice, mercy and kindness, humility and sincerity. Amen.
