Lord Jesus, You taught that the poor in spirit,
the meek, and the merciful are blessed.
Today, form my heart according to Your Beatitudes.
Where I am proud, make me humble;
where I am harsh, make me gentle;
Where I withhold mercy, teach me to forgive as I have been forgiven.
May my life, even in its struggles,
reflect the upside-down wisdom of Your Kingdom,
where the last are first, and the lowly are lifted up.
Amen.
