O God who made heaven and earth, it is not difficult for you to destroy the sinners who caused so much of pain to you, their creator. Yet instead of punishing them, you loved them. Yet instead of rebuking them, you forgave them. They crucified your dear son, yet all you did was loved them even more. God, teach me to be more like you so that I too may carry on with your word of love and truth to all I meet. May no person come to me feeling closer to you that they did before they met me. I need your light to shine through me to all my brothers and sisters around me. May I learn to love even my enemies, and may I learn to give another chance to others who have wronged me. Just the way your love never falls out of chances for me no matter how many mistakes I make, may my love for you make me see you in all those I meet. Praise you Lord, thank you Lord. I say this prayer in the name of my sweet Jesus, Amen.

Jesus Christ, your love for me is ever forgiving. When I am really angry with those around me, I find it very difficult to forgive and let go. I fail to understand that when you my Lord and my Master, who is a reflection of perfection, could forgive me a thousand times for my mistakes, who am I, a sinner, to hold grudges against my brothers and sisters. When your people came to you with the woman who committed adultery, you said "Whoever is without sin among you, let him be the first to cast a stone at her." This is such a beautiful lesson to us, that we always find fault so easily in others, but don't tend to notice the faults in ourselves. None of us are perfect, yet we strive for perfection in others. I thereby ask this grace from you dear Jesus that I learn to accept more than expect and learn to love more than criticize. I say this prayer in the name of the God Almighty and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
