Lord you are kind and merciful.
You forgive us.
You are always available to welcome us back
after we have failed.
It is not easy sometimes to offer kindness or mercy
or to forgive others when we have been offended.
It is particularly difficult when we are under stress
as so many are now with the coronavirus.
Lord guide us to share that same spirit of kindness
and mercy that you have shared with us.
Amen.
– By a Columban Missionary
