Prayer for the Week (September 13-September 19)

Let us pray that we learn to forgive the way the Lord forgives:  All-loving Father, you are good and patient, compassionate, loving, and merciful with sinners like us.  May your pardon bring us joy and stimulate us to forgive the debts, often small, that others owe us. Lead us to share with others the pardon we have received from you so that they feel a bit of your goodness in us. We ask this through Jesus our Lord. Amen.
