I want to be  completely transformed into your mercy  and to be your living reflection, O Lord.  Help me, O Lord, that my eyes may be merciful,  so I may never suspect  or judge from appearances,  but look for what is beautiful  in my neighbors' souls  and come to their rescue.   Help me, that my ears may be merciful,  so I may heed my neighbors' needs  and not be indifferent to their pains.  Help me, O Lord, that my tongue may be merciful,  so I should never speak negatively of my neighbors,  but have a word of comfort and forgiveness.  Help me, O Lord, that my hands may be merciful  and filled with good deeds,  so I may do only good to my neighbors  by doing the difficult tasks. Help me, O Lord, that my heart may be merciful  so I may feel all the sufferings of my neighbors. Jesus, I trust in you!
