Lord that I may see clearly

Lord Jesus, we come before that you may contemplate us with your loving look. We ask that you remove any speck or plank that may be in our eye, so that we may have the clarity of vision that you have. Give us contrite hearts. Grant us humility to see how far from perfect we are and how earnestly we need your grace and your mercy. Help us to become more fully aware of when we are being judgmental of others. May the Holy Spirit inspire us with the capacity to perceive God’s presence and action around us. Lord Jesus, grant us your help so that we may honor you with every word that comes from our mouth and every action we take throughout the day.

Amen.

Fr. Vidal Martinez, OSM
