Deep Forgiveness

O Lord, remember not only the men and women of good will

but also those of evil will.

And in remembering the suffering they inflicted upon us,

honor the fruits we have borne thanks to this suffering:

our comradeship,

our humility,

our compassion,

our courage,

our generosity,

the greatness of heart that has grown out of all this;

and when they come to the judgment,

let all the fruits that we have borne, be their forgiveness.
