When forgiveness is difficult … sometimes we need to forgive, not once, but again and again …if the hurt, and the outcomes remain

In Jesus’ Name, Father,
help me to recover where injury goes beyond ordinary forgiveness and my hearts are in some way crushed, and my life changed and devalued. Help me to find a way to forgive when I cannot smile or encounter or remember the offending person with warmth because they have destroyed something in me.

Father please help me to forgive when I cannot forgive…and I cannot forgive because they do not understand how badly they have hurt me, and do not seek in any real way to acknowledge or try to heal the hurt they imposed on me. And even when I tried to tell them from the bottom of our heart but they would not listen, please help me to forgive.

Father help me to forgive when those who hurt my whole life do not even remember how badly they have wounded me, and go on/went on with their lives without concern, while Iremain still held in some kind of time capsule with the consequences of their unfeeling and uncaring and attack.

Father, help me to forgive when those who wounded us by ignoring our needs and requests, yet who desire us to ignore their offense, and expect us to respond to their hints or manipulations while they make no concessions or apologies.

Help us to forgive those who impose their own conditions and rules upon me when I am unable to defend or protect myself, without respecting that my hurt is real and radical, while they make/made me feel that they only desire my capitulation without justice, apology, or generosity from them.

Help me to forgive where, in my life, I have humbly given apology for my own offense and the response is silence and rejection.

Help me to forgive and heal when I am obsessed and oppressed by our resentment and hurt.

Father please free us, free me, in forgiveness and healing that comes from Your Son, innocent, and murdered, but forgiving.
 
Praying with you Trishie.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, Implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in Thy mercy hear and answer me, Amen
 
Dear Jesus, in Your name I pray that all who need to forgive somebody just do it and that you please help them to do it quickly so they can be free of the burden and move towards healing.
Where they cannot forgive, because it’s just so very hard, please send your Holy Spirit into them to motivate them towards forgiveness. Amen.

Holy Mary, St. Joseph, St. Dismas, St. Maria Goretti and St. Maximilian Kolbe, please pray for this intention. Thank you. Amen.

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. x10

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Prayer for Strength to Forgive

Faultless Lord, enduring death for me,
You have consummated the debt of my sins:
Your sacrifice of forgiveness was absolute!
Grant me the strength to also forgive others,
To excuse their transgressions against me.
So I may truly reflect this spiritual fruit,
Obliterate any persistent feelings of malice.
Let each trespass end as a closing chapter,
My continuing on the road of righteousness.
Forgive my sins as I aspire to forgive others.
You are truly the model of forgiveness.
You are a most forgiving Lord! Amen.
 
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Amen.
