Have Mercy Upon Us


LORD JESUS CHRIST,
In YOUR MERCY;
PLEASE Take from us the sting of being human.

WHEN we could be meditating on THE BEATITUDES.
We waste time trying to be impressive at some one else's expense.

SURELY, Our reluctance to change results from
The habit of inflating our good points and denying our bad ones.

WE are both "hot and cold" toward the GOSPEL.
EXPRESSING urgency toward our own cause and purpose.
While demonstrating a mere tolerance of the interests of others.

Forgive us for hiding in the balcony; when the call is made for volunteers to work with the children and teens.
And for loitering in the hallways and on the steps; when it's time for the tithes and offering.

REBUKE and FORGIVE Pastors who obsess over a Woman's hat yet have never had an ALTAR Call for those who have been raped, abused or miscarried.
"We are heartily sorry for these our misdoings.
The remembrance of them is grievous to us.
Have Mercy upon us most MERCIFUL FATHER."

In the NAME OF JESUS.
AMEN.
AMEN.
AMEN.
