Forgive me for the angry
words
I didn't mean to
say
Forgive me for the fit of
sulks
That spoiled a happy
day
Forgive me for the
muddle
That I left upon the
floor,
The tea I wouldn't
eat,
The hasty way I slammed
the door.
Forgive me for my
selfishness
And all my little
sins,
And help me to be
better
When another day
begins.
Kathleen Partridge
Dear Lord Jesus, thank you
for taking care of me and loving me all through this
day. I know that I have not been as good as I should all
the time. Sometimes I have been lazy or disobedient and
wanted my own way. Sometimes I have been quarrelsome and
lost my temper. I have been greedy and selfish, wanting
all the best things for myself. Please forgive me and
help me to be better tomorrow. Thank you, Lord Jesus,
for everything good and lovely today, but most of all,
thank you for yourself and your great love for
me.
Nina Hinchy
O Lord, remember not only
the men and women of good will, but also those of ill
will. But do not remember all the suffering they have
inflicted on us - remember the fruits we have bought,
thanks to this suffering; our comradeship, our loyalty,
our courage, our generosity, the greatness of heart
which has grown out of all this, and when they come to
judgement let all the fruits which we have borne be
their forgiveness.

concentration camp)
