Tuesday of the First Week of Lent

Gospel Reading: Matthew 6:14–15

“If you forgive men their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you.  But if you do not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.”

 

My forgiving Lord, I am a sinner who is in need of Your mercy.

Help me to have a heart of true sorrow for my sins and to turn to You for that grace.

As I seek Your mercy, help me to also forgive the sins that others have committed against me.

I do forgive.

Help that forgiveness to enter deep into my whole being as an expression of Your holy and Divine Mercy.

Jesus, I trust in You.

Amen.
