For Contrition and Sympathy for Others

For Contrition and Sympathy for Others

GIVE us all contrition and meekness of heart, O Father, grace to amend our sinful life, and the holy comfort of Thy Spirit to overcome and heal all our evils. Speak peace to all who are praying with us or for us, far away or near; and we beseech Thee give us the heart to consider the multitude of miserable souls and lives amongst us, to take effectual pity on them, and ever to render unto Thee the things that are Thine, according to the commandment and in the Name of our Master and only Saviour, Jesus Christ Thy Son our Lord, Who with Thee and the Holy Ghost livest and reignest one God, world without end. Amen.
