Holy Spirit of God, who offers divine wisdom to those who will listen, take from us the impulse to exact vengeance on those who have wronged us, that we would repay evil with good and give ourselves in the service of love, through Christ our Lord who reigns in you with the Father in glory, forever and ever. Amen.
‘If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt.’ – Luke 6:29
