A Collect to be Understanding of Others

Jesus, our compassionate high priest, teach us to deal gently with those around us, as you are always gentle with us, that we might not forget our weaknesses and failings, but recognize that we are all subject to stumbling and foolishness and so have understanding for all, through you who loved us to the end and now intercedes for us all before the Father in the Holy Spirit. Amen.

‘He is able to deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is subject to weakness.’ – Hebrews 5:2
