Old Testament Verse

No one who conceals transgressions will prosper, but one who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
Proverbs 28:13

New Testament Verse

Zacchaeus said to the Lord, "Look, half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor; and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay back four times as much." Then Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house."
Luke 19:8-9

Prayer

Merciful Savior, thank you that your salvation comes this day to me and my house in Jesus Christ. I often prefer to conceal instead of confess my shortcomings. Set me free from fraud. By the light of your mercy, open my heart, so that my emptiness may be filled by you. Let me proclaim your salvation to all. Amen.
