In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, one God. Amen



O Jesus, Living Word of God, You whose words bring truth and life, I stand before You today and open my heart to You


You alone know its weaknesses, and You alone can renew it through Your love



My Lord, how many times have I spoken without thinking?


How many times have my words become arrows piercing the hearts of others, without my realizing their pain? I have laughed at the weaknesses of some, criticized their mistakes, and perhaps discouraged those who needed nothing more than a word of encouragement



Forgive me, Jesus 


Wash my tongue from every harsh word, cleanse my thoughts from every unjust judgment, and remove from my heart every trace of pride that makes me see the faults of others while overlooking my own



Teach me, Lord, to put myself in the place of others, to feel their pain before allowing my words to leave my lips


Give me a compassionate heart that understands without condemning, listens without growing tired, and forgives without holding resentment



O Jesus, make my tongue an instrument of love, never of hurt; of blessing, never of insult; of encouragement, never of discouragement 


Teach me to speak when my words can become a healing balm, and to remain silent when silence is better than speaking



When I see someone stumbling, do not let me laugh at them, but help me extend my hand


When I see someone failing, do not let me discourage them, but make me a voice that encourages them 


When I meet someone who is sad, do not let me pass by indifferently, but give me a heart that feels their sorrow and offers comfort



My Lord, I do not want to be the reason for someone's tears; I want to be the reason for their smile


I do not want to break someone's spirit; I want to help them rise again


I do not want to use my words to prove that I am better than others, but to reveal Your love to them



Place a guard over my mouth, Jesus, and let every word that comes from me be filled with grace and tenderness 


May my heart become a reflection of Yours, so that others may discover something of Your goodness and mercy through my words and actions



Help me always remember that the person standing before me has a heart that can suffer, feelings that can be wounded, and a soul that needs love, just as I do



O Jesus, make me more like You each day


You did not come to condemn the brokenhearted, but to lift them up


You did not come to judge the weak, but to carry their burdens and fill their hearts with Your love



I place my tongue, my heart, and my thoughts into Your hands


I ask You to make my entire life a message of love: may my words be a blessing, my presence a source of comfort, and my actions a testimony to Your love



May everything that comes from my lips be pleasing in Your sight 


May everyone who meets me leave with a little more joy and peace because of a kind word I have spoken or an act of love I have shown



Through You, Jesus, I learn to love


Through You, I learn to show mercy


And through You, I desire that my words become instruments of peace and goodness



To You be all glory, praise, and thanksgiving, O Lord, whose Word gives life, whose love heals, and whose mercy never ends




.Amen
