I enter this Wednesday Night in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Righteous Father, I accept your Word which says,
“So you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.” (Matthew 23:28)
Dear Father,
tonight I ask for the grace to become truthful before you. You are not impressed by appearances. You see beneath my public words, religious habits, achievements, and explanations.
Thank you for every moment today when I acted with sincerity. But I also bring before you the places where my outward behavior did not match my heart. Forgive me when I sought approval more than holiness, when I appeared patient while carrying resentment, or when I spoke about goodness without practicing it.
Purify my intentions. Remove from me the desire to impress people while neglecting the quiet work of conversion. Give me a heart that is the same before you in private as it is before others in public.
Heal memories that still influence my reactions. Free me from bitterness and from the need to defend myself unnecessarily. Where I have judged another unfairly, give me mercy.
Tonight I place my reputation, unfinished plans, and hidden struggles in your hands. I cannot transform myself by appearances; I need your grace.
Mother of Divine Grace, pray that my heart may become simple, honest, and faithful.
Loving Father, before I rest tonight, I place before you the intentions I carry in my heart. (Take a moment to mention them to the Lord…) Receive them according to your mercy, and if it be your will, grant me the grace I seek.
May you, O Lord, grant me a quiet night and a perfect end. May this be my portion and your glory, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Mother of Divine Grace, pray for us.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
