Thanks John for reminding us about forgiveness. And yes, it is possible with God’s help! Let us pray that all the hate in this world in whatever form may be wiped out and replaced with compassion, forgiveness and love. God help us. Amen.

I enjoyed this reflection on forgiveness emphatically ! I met a priest from Rawanda recently who presented a personal witness in forgiving the man, a Hutu, who murdered several members of the priest’s immediate family. His genuine forgiveness was a quality that I marveled at. I believe this can only be accomplished by grace from the Holy Spirit. I have much difficulty with forgiveness in my life . I pray deeply fir grace at difficult times warranting forgiveness and remember stories like that of this priest. I truly believe that forgiveness may be easy to understand as a concept but very difficult to accomplish in reality. I wish that it was preached about and discussed more often. Our nation is at a critical juncture I believe . The national dialogue is one of angry polemics promulgating mendacious myths as truth that promotes division and hate . I pray for forgiveness for all of us and to learn to focus on truth and justice rather than some imagined wrongs that are pernicious in their erosive effect on the body politic. Amen
