Forgive Us Our Trespasses

From Emotionally Healthy Relationships Day by Day - Peter Scazzero, pg 208-209

An adapted and shortened version of "Compassion Meditation Prayer"

May you be happy, may you be free.

May you be loving, may you be loved.

May you know the fulfillment of what God has planned for you.

May you experience God's deep, profound love for you.

May Jesus Christ be formed in you.

May you know his peace that passes all understanding.

May all good things be yours.

May Jesus' joy be in you and may that joy be complete.

May you know the Lord in all his goodness and compassion.

May you be protected from the evil one amidst every temptation that comes your way.

May the Holy Spirit fill and permeate your entire being.

May you see his glory.

May you be forgiven of every sin.

I forgive you (or "will try to forgive you") of every wound and hurt with all my heart.

May God's goodness and mercy follow you all of the days of your lift.

-The original version of Meninger's prayer can also be found in this book, William A Meninger, 

The Process of Forgiveness (New York; Continuum Press, 1996), 123.
