Enter Into Our Hearts

Glory be to you, O Christ our Savior, who became poor that we might be made rich, we give thanks for the wondrous love you brought into the world.  We thank you for taking on our nature that we might become your followers and true children of the Father.  Lord Christ, enter into our hearts and fill us with the grace of your tenderness and goodness.  Establish your rule in our hearts; establish your mercy in our lives; heal all the wounds of misunderstanding, jealousy or regret.  Teach us to remember to love, to forgive anger, to forget unkindness, that something of your beauty might be upon us, and that your grace may be in our hearts.  Make us compassionate toward one another, merciful, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as you have forgiven us in your divine compassion.  In your most blessed Name, we do pray.  Amen
