Forgiveness of the Heart

Forgiveness of the Heart
A Lenten Minute Reflection for Tuesday, March 10, 2015 
by Dcn Bob Bonomi

In today's Gospel Jesus commands us to forgive as much as seventy-seven times - basically every time, no exceptions. In light of the evil in the world today, it can seem almost impossible - and yet, we hear almost every day about how someone who has suffered a tremendous wrong forgives their malefactor. 

Forgiveness is more than a word on the lips; it is an attitude of the heart. Or challenge is to find the way to help those being persecuted or injured without becoming violent ourselves. Action is called for but it must be the action of Jesus. Join with Him in praying for peace.
