Lead me,

Your hand of mercy resting on my shoulder.

Shepherd me from my wretchedness.

Purify me in Your love.



 Go and learn what this text means: 

‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ 

I have come to call not the righteous but sinners.


Matthew 9:13

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in Heaven give good things to them that ask Him? Matthew 7:11
