Dear Lord, we come before you humbly and ask for your forgiveness for the times when we have been hypocritical in our actions and words. Help us to remember that every living being deserves care and compassion, even on the Sabbath day.

Thank you for your grace and mercy, and for teaching us to be better stewards of your creation. Amen.
