Lord, when I think that my heart is overflowing with love
and realize in a moment’s honesty
that it is only myself that I love in the loved one.
Deliver me from myself.
Lord, when I think I have given all that I have to give
and realize in a moment’s honesty
that it is I who am the recipient,
Deliver me from myself.
Lord, when I have convinced myself that I am poor
and realize in a moment’s honesty
that I am rich in pride and envy,
Delivery me from myself.
And, Lord, when the Kingdom of Heaven
merges deceptively
with the kingdoms of this world,
Let nothing satisfy me but God.
Mother Teresa of Calcutta, 1910-1997
______________________
Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord;
may your love and faithfulness always protect me.
For troubles without number surround me;
my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.
They are more than the hairs of my head,
and my heart fails within me.
Be pleased to save me, Lord;
come quickly, Lord, to help me.
