Memorial of St. Ignatius of Antioch, Bishop and Martyr

Reflection

“Pray without ceasing on behalf of others…for cannot one that falls rise again?”
~ St. Ignatius of Antioch

Prayer

Merciful Lord, we know we are not always who you have created and called us to be. Both intentionally and unintentionally, we fall short of the mark too often. Yet, we trust in you. May your forgiveness and mercy inspire us to rise again each time we fall. May your gracious mercy, inspire us to offer forgiveness to others. We pray in your name. Amen.

Call to Action

Reflect today on a time when I have been forgiven. Consider offering forgiveness to someone who has hurt me.
