Prayer: John Donne

Forgive me, O Lord, forgive my sins: the sins of my youth, my present sins, the sin that my parents thrust upon me, and the sins that I cast upon my children; sins which are manifest to all the world, and sins which I have so labored to hide from the world that now they are hid from my own conscience and my own memory. Say to my sad soul: “Child, be of good comfort, your sins are forgiven.”
