Rh me, and that have done good either to myself or to others for Thy love.

Also all that have desired of me to pray for them and all theirs.

That all may receive the help of Thy grace, the aid of Thy consolation, protection from dangers, deliverance from pain; that they being delivered from all evils, may with joy return abundant thanksgivings unto Thee.

6. I offer up also unto Thee my prayers and intercessions for those especially who have in any thing wronged, grieved, or slandered me, or have done me any damage or displeasure.

I pray for all those also, whom I have at any time vexed, troubled, grieved, and scandalised by words or deeds, knowingly or in ignorance; that it may please Thee to forgive us all our sins and offences, one against another.

Take away from our hearts, O Lord, all suspiciousness, indignation, wrath, and contention, and whatever may hurt charity, and lessen brotherly love.

Have mercy, O Lord, have mercy on those that crave Thy mercy, give grace unto them that stand in need thereof, and make us such as that we may be counted worthy to enjoy Thy grace, and go forward to life eternal.Amen.
