For Charity and Long-Suffering
O HOLY and ever-blessed Lord, teach us, we beseech Thee, to love one another, to exercise forbearance and forgiveness towards our enemies, to recompense no man evil for evil, but to be merciful even as Thou, our Father in heaven, art merciful; that so we may continually follow after Thee in all our doings, and be more and more conformed to Thine image and likeness; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
