Lord, reconcile me with myself.
How could I find and love others, if I no longer find myself and love myself?
Teach me to live with my lights and my shadows, my sweet and angry moments, my laughter and my tears, my past and my present.
Grant me to welcome as you welcome, to love as you love.
Remove me from the perfection to which I aspire, open me to the holiness that you give me.
Deliver me from the remorse of Judas,
entering into himself not to come out again, frightened and desperate for his sin.
Grant me the repentance of Peter,
returning in the silence of his gaze, full of tenderness and pity. And if I have to weep, let it not be about myself but about your offended love.
Give me the courage to get out of myself.
Tell me that everything is possible for the one who believes.
Tell me that I can still heal in the light of your gaze and your word. Amen
