Share what you have received from God

God our loving Father, your forgiveness is also your love. No matter how serious is our sins or offences, but with our contrite heart and humble spirit, you cancel them out. May we also forgive our brothers and sisters out of love as you did to the first servant. Grant us today the grace of humility and meekness. Like St. Augustine, may we share also your forgiveness and love to those whom we meet today. St. Augustine, pray for us. This we ask through Jesus Christ, the Healer.

Amen.
