Almighty and merciful Father, restore our souls in Jesus Christ, that we may be merciful and kind even as you are. Let your forgiveness make us willing to forgive all wrong which we have suffered, and to ask forgiveness for every wrong which we have done. Give us the spirit of Him who dwelt among men in great humility, and was meek and lowly of heart. Let the same mind be in us which was also in Him. And grant that, being rooted and grounded in the mystery of the Word made flesh, we may receive the power to overcome the world, the flesh and the devil; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
