Gentle One,
I confess my saddest sin,
that I hurt the ones I love.
My deepest wound draws me to them,
but draws me in blood.
Instead of healing the wound I repeat it,
and they bear it with me.
Heal and bless those I hurt.
Give me courage to witness my own wound.
Open me to your deep healing; forgive me;
and transform me, that my wound may become
a source of wisdom and compassion, not fear.
God, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
God, have mercy.
