A PRAYER

God of the universe, God of my life,
I stand before you just as I am.
Empty my heart - of selfishness, pride, prejudice, indifference, judgmental attitudes, fear ...
And fill me with Yourself, Your joy, peace, understanding and acceptance ...
That Your greatness may radiate through me
and my heart may overflow into the hearts of all with whom I come in contact,
especially the people living with HIV and AIDS
and their near and dear ones ...
Revealing uno them the beauty of Your love,
Your joy, and the serenity of Your peace
which nothing can destroy.
Amen.

(From the "Training on HIV and AIDS Counseling for the Missionary Sisters of the Holy Spirit October 2006, Tagatay City)
