A Parish Priest’s insights
& Journey into
Living in the Divine Will
By Fr. Emil Milat
For individual personal & private use.
Almighty Lord, God of Israel, a soul in anguish, a troubled heart
now cries to you: Listen and have pity, Lord, for we have sinned
in your sight. You sit enthroned for ever, while we perish
continually. Almighty Lord, God of Israel, hear the prayer of the
dead of Israel, of the sons of those who have sinned against
you and have not listened to the voice of the Lord their God,
hence the disasters that have seized on
us. Do not call to mind the misdeeds of our
ancestors, but remember instead your
power and your name. You are indeed the
Lord our God and we long to praise you,
Lord, since you have put respect for you in
our hearts to encourage us to call on your
name. We long to praise you in our exile,
for we have emptied our hearts of the evil
inclinations of our ancestors who sinned
against you. Look on us today, still in exile
where you have dispersed us as something execrable,
accursed, condemned, in punishment for all the misdeeds of
our ancestors who had abandoned the Lord our God.
