The ''Prayer of Repentance'' is a prayer written by Meher Baba. Meher Baba dictated the prayer in Gujarati in Khuldabad, India in November, 1951. The prayer is one of three often recited at gatherings of Baba followers, along with the ''Parvardigar Prayer'' and the ''Beloved God Prayer''. The three prayers are repeated morning and evening at Meher Baba's samadhi in Ahmednagar, India. ==Text of the prayer== :''We repent, O God most merciful; for all our sins;'' :''for every thought that was false or unjust or unclean;'' :''for every word spoken that ought not to have been spoken;'' :''for every deed done that ought not to have been done.'' :''We repent for every deed and word and thought inspired by selfishness,'' :''and for every deed and word and thought inspired by hatred.'' :''We repent most specially for every lustful thought and every lustful action;'' :''for every lie; for all hypocrisy;'' :''for every promise given but not fulfilled,'' :''and for all slander and back-biting.'' :''Most specially also, we repent for every action that has brought ruin to others;'' :''for every word and deed that has given others pain;'' :''and for every wish that pain should befall others.'' :''In your unbounded mercy, we ask you to forgive us, O God,'' :''for all these sins committed by us,'' :''and to forgive us for our constant failures'' :''to think and speak and act according to your will.''〔Purdom, Charles Benjamin.
