Behold, Lord,
An empty vessel that needs to be filled.My Lord, fill it.I am weak in faith;Strengthen thou me.I am cold in love;Warm me and make me ferventThat my love may go out to my neighbour.I do not have a strong and firm faith;At times I doubt and am unable to trust thee altogether.O Lord, help me.Strengthen my faith and trust in thee.In thee I have sealed the treasures of all I have.I am poor;Thou art rich and didst come to be merciful to the poor.I am a sinner;Thou art upright.With me there is an abundance of sin;In thee is the fullness of righteousness.Therefore, I will remain with thee of who I can receiveBut to whom I may not give.Amen.
