"Divine Source of Justice, Love, and Radical Inclusion,
I come before You in a spirit of humility, acknowledging the harm I have caused. I confess that I have used slurs and weaponized language that dehumanizes Your children and perpetuates cycles of oppression and pain.
I did not honor the sacred dignity of the communities I targeted, and for this, I am deeply sorry.
I ask for forgiveness, not to simply erase my guilt, but to begin the work of transformation. Open my eyes to the weight of my words and the privilege or ignorance that allowed me to speak them.
Help me to sit with the discomfort of my mistakes without turning to defensiveness.
I commit today to a new path. I vow to permanently remove this harmful language from my vocabulary.
I commit to doing the quiet, continuous work of self-education, learning from the histories, and lived experiences of marginalized groups without demanding their emotional labor.
Fill me with a spirit of active allyship. May my voice, which was once used to diminish others, now be used to protect human dignity, disrupt prejudice, and build a more equitable world.
Guide my heart, challenge my mind, and hold me accountable to the collective healing of our world.
Amen."
