Have mercy on me, a sinner...

Sunday, Thirtieth Week in Ordinary Time

Gospel: Luke 18:9-14

O God, be merciful to me, a sinner...
Lord, you are God even without me,
But without you, I am nothing.
I acknowledge that I am weak and sinful,
and I am always in constant need of You,
of Your love and Your mercy.
Grant me, o Lord, the grace to be humble,
and to do my best to follow Your will.
