Let us pray. ...Holy God, to whose service I long ago dedicated my soul and life, I grieve and lament before you that I am still so prone to sin and so little inclined to obedience, so much attached to the pleasure ofsense, so negligent of things spiritual. So prompt to gratify my body, so slow to nourish my soul. .so greedy for present delight, so in different to lasting blessedness. .so fond of idleness, so indisposed for labor. .so soon at play, so late at prayer. .so brisk in the service of self, so slack in the service of others:so eager to get, so reluctant to give. .so lofty in my profession, so low in my practice. ..so full of good intentions, so backwards to fulfill them. ..so severe with my neighbor, so indulgent with myself. ..so eager to find fault, so resentful at being found fault with. ..so little able for great tasks, so discontented with small ones. .so weak in adversity, so swollen and self satisfied in prosperity. .so helpless apart from you, and yet so little willing to be bound to you. ...o merciful hear of God, grant me yet again thy forgiveness. ...amen.
