Gracious Father, whose gentleness leads us to repentance, let us deal in kindness with those who stumble and fall into sin, that we would not heap shame upon our sisters and brothers but invite them to return to your way of righteousness with love as you do, through Jesus our brother, who knows our weaknesses and intercedes for us before your throne in the Holy Spirit. Amen.
‘My brothers and sisters, if anyone is detected in a transgression, you who have received the Spirit should restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness.’ – Gal. 6:1
