Oh Jesus, friend of sinners,
Break our hearts for what breaks Yours
We constantly strive to know and do Your will - we fail, but we keep trying.
There are so many sins in this world, and they should appall us and throw us into more fervent prayer.
We love all creatures, but we can't tolerate the failings of ourselves or others - we must make amends and ask for forgiveness.
We must speak out for what we believe and not hide from the pointing fingers and ridicule of society, for we know the Truth, and we know the Truth will lead us to You.
You have given us everything - sacrificing Your own life so that we may be saved from our failings in this world. Move use to challenge ourselves and those around us to accept You and receive the love You are constantly showering upon us.
Help us as we lift each other up to You. Our missions are all different but are directed towards the same goal - to serve You and show Your love to all those around us.
You've given us such an example in Mary, who completely surrendered her will to Yours and underwent so much suffering, yet she never turned away from You. We must direct our lives to the service of Your ends and not waver from the calls You have placed in our hearts.
Help us to still our minds enough to listen to You whispering to us. We find it increasingly difficult as the speed of our lives increases.
We need to remember our reason for being.
