Pardon Desired for Duties Left Undone
Luke 11:42
But woe to you, Pharisees! for you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God…


Dr. Samuel Johnson, in writing to his mother, says: — "You have been the best mother, and I believe the best woman, in the world. I thank you for your indulgence to me, and I beg forgiveness for all I have done ill, and all that I have omitted to do well." So in the prayer he composed at the same time: "Forgive me whatever I have done unkindly to my mother, and whatever I have omitted to do kindly."
