“My failure to be true even to my own accepted standards,
My self-deception in face of temptation,
My choosing of the worse when I know the better,
O Lord, forgive.
My failure to apply to myself the standard of conduct I demand of others,
My complacence towards wrongs that do not touch my own case
and my over-sensitiveness to those that do,
My slowness to see the good in my fellows and the see the evil in myself,
My hardness of heart towards my neighbors faults and my readiness to make allowance for my own…
O Lord, forgive.”

Amen! Oh how often I demand of others which I am not giving out! O Lord, forgive!
