Lord Jesus,

You give us a new standard today based on the law of love and mercy. You transform the law of justice and mercy with grace and loving-kindness. You call us to seek the good of those who wish us ill. Help us with your Spirit to treat others not as they deserve but as you wish them to be treated – with loving-kindness and mercy. May we love not only those who love us, but all those who are ungrateful and selfish towards us.

Lord Jesus, free us from the tyranny of malice, hatred, revenge and resentment and give us the courage to return evil with good. Teach us to pray for those who despitefully use us that we may bear fruit for your Kingdom, where you live and reign forever and ever.

Amen.

Fr. Leo Hambur, OSM
