Prayer
St. Maria Faustina — A Prayer to Be Merciful
Help me, O Lord, that my eyes may be
merciful, so that I may never suspect
or judge from appearances, but look
for what is beautiful in my neighbor's
soul.
Help me, O Lord, that my ears may be
merciful, so that I may give heed to
my neighbor's needs.
Help me, O Lord, that my tongue may
be merciful, so that I should never
speak negatively of my neighbor.
Help me, O Lord, that my hands may
be merciful and filled with good
deeds, so that I may do only good to
my neighbor.
Help me, O Lord, that my feet may be
merciful, so that I may hurry to assist
my neighbor.
Help me, O Lord, that my heart may
be merciful, so that I myself may feel
all the sufferings of my neighbor.
May Your mercy, O Lord, rest upon
me.
Amen.
