“Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; rend your hearts and not your clothing.”

Joel 2:12-13

Lord,

Grant that I love You with all my heart, reserving none of it for grudges.

Grant that mercy and love abound, removing all need to settle old scores.

Grant that my human wisdom is replaced with a clean heart, seeking Your Sacred Heart.

Grant that I release all idols; only seeking You, for You are enough.

Grant this for me and my family, every day of our lives.

Thank You for creating us in a heart that burns for You.

Lord Jesus, amen.
