Lord, Make Me Holy

Lord, make me holy especially this day
when temptations abound and I am weak
cleanse my thought of impurities and unholy
imaginings

Make me regard my fellow humans with
love and not lust
Direct my eyes to what is beautiful in Your sight
Lead not my heart to inordinate attachments
and material possessions

Make me speak of words of love and compassion
to my fellow human beings
May they find You in what I say or do

Lord, I beg of You
even if a little each day
to make me holy and therefore
wholly Yours.

Son of the Prodigal
