DISMISSAL RESPONSE COLLECT MONDAY 12 MAY 2025 Week 4 Easter Let us pray that God will guide us in the way of compassion. (pause) God of glory, open our eyes to the needs of others so that we might bring your love and kindness to those we meet. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. SCRIPTURE A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Romans (12:17-18, 21) Brothers and sisters: Don’t mistreat someone who has mistreated you. But try to earn the respect of others, and do your best to live at peace with everyone. Don’t let evil defeat you, but defeat evil with good. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. When people don’t treat us well, or when things don’t go our way, our instinctive reaction is often to fight back. It is sometimes hard to be a peacemaker. Watch this video about resolving differences in a peaceful way. Can you think of some times when someone has frustrated you, and how you could have resolved that situation peacefully? May the peace of Christ dwell in our hearts. Alleluia! Alleluia! May God bless us in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 74
