Behold, Lord,

an empty vessel that needs to be filled.

My Lord, fill it.

I am weak in the faith; strengthen me.

I am cold in love;

warm me and make me fervent,

that my love may go out to my neighbor.

I do not have a strong and firm faith;

at times I doubt and am unable to trust you altogether.

O Lord, help me.

Strengthen my faith and trust in you.

In you I have sealed the treasure of all I have.

I am poor;

you are rich and came to be merciful to the poor.

I am a sinner;

you are upright.

With me, there is an abundance of sin;

in you is the fullness of righteousness.

Therefore I will will remain with you,

of whom I can receive,

but to whom I may not give.

Amen.
