Gentle savior, who knows our hearts and judges us not, help us to not be ashamed and hide from you whatever it is that we fear, but grant us faith and trust in your goodness and your eagerness to forgive and help us always, through you who loved us to the end and now intercedes for us before the Father in the Holy Spirit. Amen.
‘Then they came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the way?” But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another who was the greatest.’ – Mark 9:33-34
