Prayer of a 7th Century Irish Monk
Luke 7:36-50

O God, you do not wish any sinner to die, but want all people to turn from their sins and live.  We pray for our sinful brother, forgiving all his wrong-doing and turning his heart towards you.  By his own merits he deserves only punishment, but in your mercy we pray that you will bestow upon him eternal life.
