Maipapan iti daytoy a kararag
An original devotional prayer written for this companion. Pray slowly, bringing your own intentions before God. This is not a prescribed liturgical formula.
Teksto ti kararag
Merciful Father, I come before you without excuses. You know the choices that have wounded others and drawn me away from you. Give me the courage to name my sins truthfully and the humility to seek forgiveness. Help me make amends where I can, accept correction, and change the habits that lead me into harm. Do not let shame keep me from your love. Lead me to reconciliation and renew my heart through Jesus Christ. May my repentance become visible in patient, honest and compassionate living. Amen.
Napaatiddog a kararag ti komunidad
Saan a nabaliwan ti orihinal a kararag iti ngato. Daytoy a naisina a bersion ti komunidad ket addaan iti nayun a panggep ken sungbat. Maysa ti mangidaulo; amin ket makipaset kadagiti sangsangkamaysa a paset.
Let us gather in the presence of God, remembering those who pray with us and those who cannot be here. We bring our gratitude, our needs, and our willingness to care for one another.
God of love, unite our hearts in prayer and teach us to serve you together.

Community intentions
For the wrong we have excused or concealed, give us honesty to acknowledge it and courage to make amends.
Lord, hear our prayer, and help us become instruments of your mercy.
For those harmed by our choices, provide care and justice; help us accept responsibility without demanding their forgiveness.
Lord, hear our prayer, and help us become instruments of your mercy.
Pause for silent prayer. Intentions may be offered aloud freely; no one is required to share.
For the intentions spoken and those held quietly in our hearts, let us pray to the Lord.
Lord, receive our prayer and sustain us in your love.
Let us entrust ourselves and those for whom we have prayed to the Father.
Merciful Father, receive our prayer through Jesus Christ. Where we can offer help, make us willing; where we must wait, give us patience. Keep us attentive to one another beyond this gathering. May the grace of this prayer take root in our homes, our work, and our choices, so that your love becomes visible through our lives. Amen.
