You are good to all,
O God, and your
compassion is over
all that you have made.
In Christ you
reconcile the world to yourself,
not counting our
trespasses against us,
and entrusting to us
the message
of reconciliation.
As part of this
message,
words to be fixed in
our heart
and soul, there is no
limit to the number
of times we are to
forgive one who
sins against us.
