Prayer to forgive
por La Tinaja EditorialDear Heavenly Father, here I am in your presence, with a heart that is solemn, depleted, and longing for your mercy. I acknowledge that it is difficult for me to forgive the wound which has opened up. I would like to ask that you help me to forgive __________ for any wrongdoing toward me; after all, you have commanded us that before we place our offering on the altar, we first make peace with our brother. I imagine him at the feet of your Holy Cross and recognize how you love and forgive us. I ask that you help me demonstrate mercy toward him. Today I admit that I may have provoked the sin or wrongdoing as well as shown a lack of sympathy. Holy Father, I do not want to harbor feelings of hate or resentment in my heart and for this reason I decide in Your Holy Name to forgive _________ and leave him free of wrongdoing. I accept in my heart that his actions were motivated by his frailty and by the temptations set in place by the enemy, as well as his experience during upbringing. Today I receive your love and forgiveness, which covers and heals all things. I declare my heart healed of all wounds and pain, and I receive your peace deep within me so that from this moment on, nothing might trouble me. Today I bless ___________ in the name of Jesus, and I send over my love along with yours, in order to break apart all wickedness within him. Amen. Our Father in Heaven, Hail Mary, Glory Be.
