Prayer for Christ’s Mercy
Catholic, Devotions August 7th, 2004
O Lord, show Your mercy to me and gladden my heart,
I am like the man on the way to Jericho
who was overtaken by robbers,
wounded and left half dead:
O Good Samaritan, come to my aid.
I am like the sheep that went astray:
O Good Shepherd, seek me out
and bring me home in accord with Your Will.
Let me dwell in Your house all the days of my life
and praise You for ever and ever
with those who are there.
St. Jerome (342-420)
Taken from the New St. Joseph People’s Prayer Book
