Lord,
I am in this world to show Your mercy to others. Other people will
glorify You by making visible the power of Your grace by their
fidelity and constancy to You. For my part I will glorify You by
making known how good You are to sinners, that Your mercy is
boundless and that no sinner no matter how great his offences should
have reason to despair of pardon. If I have grievously offended You,
My Redeemer, let me not offend You even more by thinking that You are
not kind enough to pardon Me. Amen.
