What mortal can hope to change you, O God?
How can we begin to try to make changes in your being or in your plans?
If this is what prayer is,
It cannot be effective.
Your being is eternal and unchanging.
Yet, Lord, you have great capacity for mercy.
You know and feel the pains we suffer.
I pray that our words of prayer would always be heard by a gracious ear,
And that you would look upon these souls on earth with love instead of anger,
Grace instead of judgment.
Allow us to throw ourselves on your love for humanity,
And heal us.
Amen.
