Essential prayers

Act of Charity

This traditional act joins love of God with love of neighbor. Praying it can lead naturally to reconciliation and an act of service.

Traditional English devotional form

O my God, I love Thee above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because Thou art all good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of Thee. I forgive all who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured.

Bring it into your day

Think of someone you find difficult, and choose a just and charitable response.
