PRAYER FOR OUR ENEMIES

Lord Jesus Christ, Who commanded us to love our enemies, and those who defame and injure us, and to pray for them and forgive them. Who Yourself prayed for Your enemies, who crucified You: grant us, we pray, the spirit of Christian reconciliation and meekness, that we may completely forgive every injury and be reconciled with our enemies. Grant us to overcome the malevolence and offences of people with Christian meekness and true love of our neighbor. We further ask You, 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 that threaten us, in the form of visible and invisible enemies.  In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages.   Amen.
