A Collect to Repay Evil with Good

Generous God, who gives life and rain and blessings to both the good and evil, teach us not to respond to evil with evil, that we would bless those who curse us and seek the good of all and so fill creation with your love and goodness, through Christ our savior, who died for us when we were still sinners and now intercedes for us before your throne in the Holy Spirit. Amen.

“But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies; do good to those who hate you; bless those who curse you; pray for those who mistreat you.” – Luke 6:27-28
