Day 201. Will your forgiveness of others always result in reconciliation? (2026)

Today is day 201 and we are on the section on second part of the Fifth Petition: "As we forgive those who trespass against us".

201. Will your forgiveness of others always result in reconciliation?

No. Though my decision and desire to forgive may not result in my neighbor’s repentance or our reconciliation, I am still called to forgive. (Matthew 18:15–35; Romans 12:17–21)

We will conclude today with Prayer 33. For Our Enemies found on page 655 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
