Saint Thomas More, crushed by his friends and companions of his youth as he was being tried for treason, prayed this prayer:
“Almighty God, have mercy on all who bear me evil and would harm me. Have mercy on their faults and mine together, by such easy, tender and merciful means as Your own Infinite wisdom best can devise.
“Amend us and save us that we may live and love together in Heaven with Thee and Thy Saints, O Glorious Trinity, for the bitter passion of our sweet Savior Christ.
Amen.”
