I offer up to you my prayers
and intercessions,
for those especially who have
in any matter
hurt, grieved, or found fault
with me,
or who have done me any damage
or displeasure.
For all those also whom,
at any time,
I have vexed, troubled, burdened,
and scandalised,
by words or deed, knowingly
or in ignorance;
that you would grant us all equally
pardon for our sins,
and for our offences against each other.
Take away from our hearts, O Lord,
all suspiciousness, indignation,
wrath, and contention,
and whatsoever may hurt charity,
and lessen brotherly love.
Thomas à Kempis (c.1380-1471)
