A Collect to Not Return Hurt for Hurt

Suffering servant, who bore our sins willingly, keep us from returning hurt for hurt and inflicting our pain on others, but help us trust in the Father’s justice and goodness, breaking the cycle of suffering, through you who showed us the way to the Father and now reigns in glory in the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.

‘When he was abused, he did not return abuse; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but he entrusted himself to the one who judges justly.’ – 1 Peter 2:23
