Pray for enemies
Lord Jesus Christ, who commands us to love our enemies, and those who defame and injure us, and to pray for them and forgive them; who Thyself didst pray for thine enemies, who crucified thee: Grant us we pray, the spirit of Christian reconciliation and meekness, that we may heartily forgive every injury and be reconciled with our enemies. Grant us to overcome the malevolence and offences of people with meekness and true love of our neighbour. We further beseech thee, O Lord, to grant to our enemies true peace and forgiveness of sins; and do not allow them to leave this life without true faith and sincere conversion. And help us repay evil with goodness, and to remain safe from the temptations of the devil and from all the perils which threaten us, in the form of visable and invisable enemies. Amen
