Confession

"Who can detect their errors?"

O Lord, I am aware of my errors
My anger, my impatience
Saying ugly words 
Demanding my own way

But I'm sure there are 
Other sins that I am not aware of

As Julian did, 
I happily confess them to you

Happily because 
There is vacancy at the cross
For my sins
Happily because 
I can unload them from me
And lay them down at your feet
Happily because I'm tired of trying
To be good
And ready to have a
Justifying and sanctifying 
Injection of the Holy Spirit 

Purify me by your grace
Because my efforts are not enough
But you are all sufficient
