27th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B
Prayer of Forgiveness
Ask the Holy Spirit to show you whom you need to forgive (family,
friend, abuser, yourself)
Picture the person in front of you and pay aBenCon to what you feel
in your heart and body
Make an account of the debt they owe you (what did they take from
you, how did they hurt you? It is okay to feel angry or nothing at all)
Imagine yourself telling them what they did to hurt you and how it
has affected you
Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you any identity lies you believe
about yourself based on that incident
Renounce the identity lie “In the name of Jesus Christ, I renounce
the lie that I am not loved or cared for, that I have to perform well to
be loved, etc.”
Announce the truth of your identity in Christ-“In the name of Jesus
Christ, I announce the truth that I am seen, that I am valuable, that I
am loved, etc.”
Bring the person with you to meet Jesus on the Cross at Calvary and
look at His face of care and mercy
Ask Jesus to forgive the person
10. Ask Jesus to give you the grace to forgive the person
11. Pray a prayer of blessing for that person-as God to bless them and
heal them on their journey
12. Ask Jesus to seal this forgiveness and heal the wounds in your life
13. Thank God for His healing mercy and grace
