Forgiveness as the Great Treasure for Families

The ability to ask for forgiveness and the gift of Jesus to  the bride and groom

We have forgiveness as a burden, as something impossible to live. It is the enemy who raises the thought in our minds; He makes us keeping raging, grief and resentment. This is the tactic that he uses to finish us with our family, our group and community.

We are unable to imagine the harm that unforgiveness generates in us. Unfortunately, we ended up saving within us the evil that people do. And resentment is like rust eating away at us. When we realized, we were taken by her. However, when we forgive, God even fills our heart with his love and experience the peace that both dream.

St. Paul teaches us in his letter: “don’t get the Sun on your resentment” (Ef 4.26).

We’re all fragile. If we acknowledged and assume our limitations, it would be easier to forgive our brother or sister and understand their weaknesses. So, don’t be afraid to talk to Jesus of your difficulty in forgiving; how hard it is for you to admit that you are able to make the same mistakes and failures others do.

You know your heart, but you speak of their difficulties. We must be true to God.
Your brother,
Monsignor Jonas Abib
