Prayer for Strength to Forgive

Faultless Lord, enduring death for me,

You have consummated the debt of my sins:

Your sacrifice of forgiveness was absolute!

Grant me the strength to also forgive others,

To excuse their transgressions against me.

So I may truly reflect this spiritual fruit,

Obliterate any persistent feelings of malice.

Let each trespass end as a closing chapter,

My continuing on the road of righteousness.

Forgive my sins as I aspire to forgive others.

You are truly archetypical of forgiveness.

You are a most forgiving Lord!
