We turn to you,
Confessing our inadequacies
And our inabilities
To be the people you have called us to be,
O God.
We care more for ourselves than others,
And we lie to you and ourselves,
Claiming that we do not.
But our actions, time, and treasures
Reflect our own narcissism,
And when we realize it,
We mourn for ourselves.
Please forgive us
And help us to look to the needs of others
In ways that will honor you,
Others,
And ourselves.
Amen.
