I killed Jesus Christ…

I killed him with my tongue when I slandered my neighbour and spread rumours about him

I killed him when I blamed someone else for what I had done

I killed him with my anger, when I sought revenge on my enemy

I killed Jesus.

I killed him by my neglect, when I failed to love my sister

I killed him when I walked out on my family and my friends

I killed him when I failed to love the poor and the deformed and the rejected

I killed Jesus.

I killed him when I used a woman for my own selfish desire

I killed him when I abused the body he gave me with drugs and alcohol

I killed him with my pride and arrogance

I killed him with my rejection of his perfect ways

I killed him with my ingratitude

I killed him when I turned my back on my Creator

I killed him with my feet when I ran away from him

I killed him with my heart when I ignored him

I killed Jesus.

I killed him when I robbed my employer by taking money I didn’t work for

I killed him when I put my wants above the needs of others and lived in selfishness

I killed him when I thought I was better than someone else

I killed him when I hated my brother and cursed him

Jesus, forgive me and have mercy on me.
