A Collect of Thanks for God’s Mercy

Lord Almighty, whose judgements are just and whose mercy is great, we thank you for not condemning us for our wrongs and for striving to rescue us from the destruction in which we have mired ourselves. Grant us grace to take hold of the rescue that you offer, through Jesus Christ our Savior, who intercedes for us with you through the presence of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

“Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” – John 3:17
