Be attractive inside and out

Loving Father, sorry for sometimes being selective, partial, one-sided or a hypocrite. For sometimes being pretentious. For lying and being too cowardly to admit or tell the truth. We humbly beg you, forgive us. Renew in us once again the grace of pure heart and humble spirit. Heal our troubled conscience. Make us clean inside and out. Make us humble and kind whether we are with or without others. May we be able to pleased you today.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Mary, Our Lady of the Pillar, intercede and pray for us.
