Yet he, being compassionate, atoned for their iniquity and did not destroy them.

Lord, may one of my objectives for today be to extend to others the acts of compassion that you have shown to me.
May my heart not be hardened to those who are not even seeking to know you and love you. May I not retaliate and avenge others - but show to them true concern and consideration regardless of their acceptance or rejection of my actions of kindness towards them.
Lord, I do realize that I must receive and understand your compassionate love towards me, if I am going to have the ability to reflect the same.
May I not just sing about your love and compassion, talk about it and read about it; but may I, as another benefit of this consecration, daily increase my demonstrations of compassion towards others.
When I begin to realize and focus on how you, El Rachum, have been so compassionate and expressed your unconditional love towards me; may I then remember that I have no other choice than to show to others the same.
“I CAN do all things through You, El Rachum, who has given me the strength!”
