Mercy

Two birds fighting over food in the snow while a third bird watches from behind with the quote: Lord, you have told us to love our enemies and to pray for our persecutors, as Christ prayed for his tormentors from the cross. And so we dare to pray: Lord, have mercy. Give peace to those who have destroyed our peace; Grant love to those who have refused us love; Protect from injury those who have done us; Grant success to those who have competed with us to our loss; Give prosperity to those who have taken what was ours.—Magnificat
Pray For Our Persecutors: A Prayer For Enemies
A man thinking and reflecting in the dark with a neon pink cross in the background with the quote: For us, accepting God’s mercy is the most perfect form of sacrifice. It is a sacrifice of our illusory independence and strength, it is a sacrifice of our pride, and this is precisely how God begins to work in us.—Magnificat
Accepting God’s Mercy

Be Kind
