Jesus Forgive Us

An open wooden door reveals two chairs and a small crucifix in a softly lit reconciliation room.
Mercy opens a place to begin again.

Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins.
Deliver us from the fires of hell.
Draw all sinners and non-believers to your Most Sacred Heart.
Keep us in the hollow of Your hands.
Abide in our hearts and guide us to Your light.
Please walk with us Lord, and show us the way to serve You.

The plea for forgiveness here becomes a request for guidance and a heart ready to serve. In The Name of God Is Mercy, Pope Francis speaks with Andrea Tornielli about receiving mercy, acknowledging wrongdoing and finding a way toward reconciliation.
