Forgive us, we pray, Lord...

Dear God 
Please forgive us 
for exploiting the poor, 
abandoning the widow 
and ignoring the refugee.
Forgive us also
for not feeding you
when you were hungry,
not giving you medicine
when you were sick,
not welcoming you
when you had nowhere to stay,
and not visiting you
when you were in prison.
Help us from here on
to put the welfare of others
above our own
And to do unto the least
of these your brethren
as we would do unto you,
Amen.
