Celebration of Mercy Prayer

This is a ritual of forgiveness outside the sacrament of reconciliation. Its purpose is not only to seek God’s forgiveness for ourselves, but to ask God to help us to forgive those who have hurt us. It is appropriate for Lent or Advent, or during family preparation for the reception of any of the sacraments.
