A Prayer to be Merciful

Help me, O Lord, that my eyes may be merciful,
so that I may never suspect or judge from appearances,
but look for what is beautiful in my neighbor's soul.
Help me, O Lord, that my ears may be merciful,
so that I may give heed to my neighbor's needs.
Help me, O Lord, that my tongue may be merciful,
so that I should never speak ill of my neighbor.
Help me, O Lord, that my hands may be merciful
and filled with good deeds,
so that I may do only good to my neighbor.
Help me, O Lord, that my feet may be merciful,
so that I may hurry to assist my neighbor.
Help me, O Lord, that my heart may be merciful,
so that I myself may feel all the sufferings of my neighbor.
May Thy mercy, O Lord, rest upon me. Amen.
