Forgiveness

Reflection

“Forgiveness is the economy of the heart – forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirit.” ~ Hannah Moore

Prayer

Loving God, we live in a time when sins and failings, past or present, are often used as weapons to injure rather than as opportunities to promote growth and communion. Help us to recognize that we are all imperfect together. Open our eyes, that we might see each other as sisters and brothers. Open our hearts that we might, in a spirit of forgiveness, seek to overcome wrongs and promote solidarity among all. Amen. 

Call to Action

Take some time today to consider if there is someone in my life I need to forgive? Do I have the strength to forgive them?
