On Forgiveness
We had an interesting homily yesterday, the subject of which was forgiveness. The content was good although I have my suspiscions about the motivation behind some of the comments. However, the main point of the message was that we are called to forgive others as we are also forgiven. This command is, of course, very clear on both its requirements and the consequences. If we do not forgive, or sins will not be forgiven.
We must always be aware of our obligation to forgive and cognizant of the mercy of our Father, who graciously forgives us even after endless offenses. I've heard some apologists claim that forgiveness is required of us, but only if the one who has offended has asked for forgiveness.
