| Merciful Father, |
| I have squandered my days with plans of many things. My life as it is, was not among them. But at this moment, I beg only to live the next few moments well. |
| For all we ought to have thought, and have not thought... |
| All we ought to have said, and have not said... |
| All we ought to have done, and have not done... |
| I pray thee, God, for forgiveness. |
