Oh, God…

 

Emperor of Heaven,

We humbly kneel at Your feet,

Daring to gaze up to You tearfully,

Guilty of the sins we committed voluntarily or involuntarily.

 

You listen to our confession

Without causing an interruption,

Teaching us the importance of patience

And how to be good listeners for once.

 

Like a loving father,

You give us a lecture

About how not to further

On the devil’s path in the future.

 

Hoping that we learned our lesson

During the regular session,

You grant us divine forgiveness

And light our path to righteousness.

 

We thank You for giving us solace,

Your wisdom is greater than ours,

We finally found inner peace

After struggling for hours.

 

Guide Us, Holy Father…

 

To the path of righteousness

Where honesty is honored,

Work is rewarded

At its real worth.

 

Towards the exit of the labyrinth,

To open the new horizon

Through wise thinking,

To end evil’s domination.

 

Through the jungle we call life,

To be more daring,

To always emit light

And be more level-headed.

 

 

Lord God...

 

You’re the Father whose love

Offer solace to all humanity,

When it suffers from sorrow,

Sometimes in silence.

 

As a Holy Unmercenary Physician,

You never have expectations

About Your patients

Those pray to You to heal them.

 

Dispel the thick fog

From the sleeping forest,

Bathe it in light,

May Your voice wake it up.

 

You teach us that through faith

We earn the spiritual nourishment,

That is most wanted and desired,

And beneficial to the soul.
