Forgive

"IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FORGIVE WITHOUT REFERENCE TO GOD….PEOPLE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO FORGIVE ONLY IF THEY HAVE THE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF BEING FORGIVEN…..ONLY SOMEONE WHO HAS HAD TO ASK FORGIVENESS AT LEAST ONCE IS CAPABLE OF GRANTING FORGIVENESS….ANYONE WHO DOESN'T ASK FOR FORGIVENESS IS LACKING SOMETHING IN HIS DAY-TO-DAY LIFE."  (Pope Francis, His Life in His Own Words) — Meditation thoughts as we begin Holy Week, the days leading to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
