“Where there is injury, pardon” Prayer of St. Francis

 We have all been hurt by someone and sadly, even by those closest to us. It happens, and when it does the very best response we can have is to meet it with a gentle forgiving spirit. We may want to lash out in anger, but this only deepens the injury. Forgiveness is a healing power. It frees us from the prison of self-centeredness and leads us into the fresh air of gracious love.  

“Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Col.3.13 Conversations Within” ts 9/7/2020
