O God of mercy and compassion, thanks for the patience you have demonstrated with me as I struggle on this journey of faith. I have not always been the best person I could be, and many times I wonder if I will exhaust your treasury of mercy and grace. Teach me today to be as patient, as forgiving, as merciful, and as compassionate with my fellow pilgrims on this journey O God, as you have always been with me. I know you’re not finished with me yet, and I still have a long road to travel, so be my constant guide on this road Father, that I may return to you, when my day is done.
