Catechism Reading:

The Fifth Petition

And forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

What does this mean?

We pray in this petition

that our Father in heaven would not look at our sins,

or deny our prayer because of them.

We are neither worthy of the things for which we pray,

nor have we deserved them,

but we ask that He would give them all to us by grace,

for we daily sin much and surely deserve nothing but punishment.

So we too will sincerely forgive

and gladly do good to those who sin against us.
