God our loving Father,
as we head on to our work
or for some to school for their
classes this Monday,
enlighten us on what particular
good we have to learn doing
beginning today.
Wash yourselves clean! Put away your misdeeds from before my eyes; cease doing evil; learn to do good. Make justice your aim, redress the wronged, hear the orphan’s plea, defend the widow (Isaiah 1:16-17).
Forgive us,
in our causing you
our Father with so many
heartbreaks as we live in sinful ways,
forgetting totally how your love
for us looked like;
we have retreated to mere
habits,
routine,
and appearances
in fulfilling our prayers
and worship along with our
many rites and rituals
that are empty of any love
at all for you
and for others.
Guide me,
dearest Father
in your Son Jesus Christ
on how I must relate with
the modern world
so alienated
from you with
so many practices
and actions
disguising as just
and fair
but actually selfish
and self-serving
that leave us
empty
and bothered,
lacking in peace.
Amen.
