Prayer for Christ's Mercy

O Font of love for the world,
who was made man,
for the likes of me.
Provide for Your Mercy to pour over the world,
to pour over me;
poor sinners that we are,
so that we may love You more,
adore You more,
seek You more,
serve You more, and
follow You with the same charity
that You have shown to us.

Crucified Savior, in Your passion You became sin for us,
who are wrought and burdened by our sins.
In all our needs, have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and
send upon us Your Holy Spirit to enrich
and guide us in charity.
May we be instruments of your mercy,
for our neighbors,
through our charity and love for You.
My God.
My Lord.
My Savior.
My Love.

Amen.
