That prayer did not come from Scripture.

I'm sure that means something to you, but it doesn't mean anything to me, can you be more clear on why that would be an issue?

Sounds unbelieving to me.

Based on WHAT?! Here we have the official prayer of the Catholic Church confirming that we do not merit Heaven and nevertheless there's still fault found with it.

Maybe I’m nitpicking, it’s just that I’ve been listening to Paul a lot lately and he is so full of confidence in what believers have in Christ. Prayers like that, while acknowledging need of grace, have a bit of false humility to me, vis a vis the abbondanza of blessing and ASSURANCE Paul teaches.

Yes, none of us are worthy, but He MADE us worthy, yes? Confidence! Bless you.
