Here is a prayer I was given a few years ago by someone from the Rosies organization in Australia. It seemed an appropriate prayer to consider in relation to the confession that I posted yesterday.
O Jesus,
Make our hearts so human,
That others may feel at home with us,
So like yours,
That others may feel at home with you
So forgetful of self
That we might simply become the place where you and they meet
In the power of your love and the joy of your friendship
Amen (by Fr. Paul Costello)

What a beautiful prayer. I needed this! Thanks for posting it.
Your welcome,
As you have probably realized by now I love collecting prayers like this from a variety of traditions and cultures. If you have any that you would like to contribute I would love to see them.
Hi Christine,
So glad you found this prayer that goes back to 1977 when I took up ministry and which became in 1987, the prayer that embodied the spirit of our work on the streets of Australia with Rosies. Love to know how you found the prayer.
God Bless
Paul Costello
