George Matulaitis Journal

have never wanted to stray from Your revealed truth or from the teaching of Your holy Church—not even in the smallest matter. Strengthened by Your grace, I am ready to lay down my life for every revealed truth. Yet even in this respect, Lord, I feel that I am very culpable: “I can swear to their fervor for God, but their zeal is misguided” (Rom 10:2). Blinded by pride, I ventured into matters and activities which I had not properly studied, which I did not fully comprehend. I was mistaken and perhaps led others astray. Do not put your servant on trial (Ps 142/143:2), but have mercy on me and for- give me. Look upon my contrite heart and forgive me all my faults, all my indiscretions, every thoughtless word. Correct my errors, repair any scandal I may have given. 139
