TODAY’S WORD…

.

Jesus said,

“If you forgive others the wrongs they have done to you,

your Father in heaven will also forgive you.

.

But if you do not forgive others,

then your Father will not forgive the wrongs you have done.”

.

– Matthew 6:14-15 (GNT)

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

No one on earth is perfect.

Just as God loves us, even though we have defects,

and forgives us,

we should love others, even though they have defects,

and forgive them.

.

If we wait to love people who have no defects,

we shall never love anyone.

.

If we wait until others mend their ways or apologize,

we will scarcely ever forgive them.

But then we ourselves will never be forgiven!

.

QUOTE…

.

“All right, that person has behaved badly towards you.

But, haven’t you behaved worse towards God?”

.

– St. Josemaria Escriva

Father in Heaven, forgive me my wrongdoings,

Rid me of my self-righteous pride, O God.
