PRAYER FOR RECONCILIATION AND HEALING IN OUR PARISH:

Lord Jesus Christ, you taught us your disciples to love our enemies and to pray for those who persecute us, (Matthew 5:44).

You said: “Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.” (Mark 11: 25- 26).

You taught us: forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; (Matthew 6: 12).

On the cross, you prayed for your executioners: “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34).

You have called us to be your disciples and to conform into your image and likeness. I ask you now to forgive for me all those I have grievance against who hurt me in the past. Forgive them, bring them to repentance and to conversion. Lord Jesus, forgive me also for the many ways I have offended you and my fellow human beings. Forgive me for the grievance I have nursed against others in my heart. Forgive me; heal me; give me your Grace to be your instrument of peace and reconciliation in my surroundings especially in my Parish Family of St. Clement Pope Church. AMEN.
