Jesus, pardon and enlighten us where we fail to love others wisely and respectfully.
Jesus, please open us to receive each other with love, so that we no longer betray God’s Love that re-creates us in each moment of life.
Reveal to us our sins against charity, and heal us of fears and prejudices that lead to judgement of others.
How easily even the generous Christian may perhaps reduce others to categories, judging them with unconscious pride and lack of empathy!
How carelessly, with convincing appraisal and bias, we dismiss others in their seeming sin, error or foolishness.
How often we misjudge them in their difficulties and achievements, and underestimate their intrinsic worth as persons!
Jesus, please forgive us that we presume to deal uncharitably with anyone!
Each person is Your own creation lovingly spoken out of Yourself in the private language of love chosen for each alone!
No matter how different from one’s own character or journey, the path and meaning of each person is treasured mystery hidden within You!
Let us share in Your love for others, rejoicing in Your image within them whether evident or not. Let us reverence our dissimilarity and their individuality. Let us be respectful and discreet in our helpfulness. Have mercy on our prayer and goodwill for them, so that we may love them with Your Love.
