Tuesday of the 3rd Week of Lent

March 16, 2004

Daniel 3:25;34-43

Matthew 18:21-35

   
Scripture
"Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?"
Reflection
When wronged, our first task is to experience the pain and anger of what was done to us. After all: our integrity has been compromised, our boundaries invaded, our space sullied. But if we get stuck in that pain and anger, if we say to our self and to the world, "I can never forgive this," then we end up with a burden seventy times heavier than that of the offender. We do better to let go, align ourselves with a forgiving universe; free the wrongdoer, free ourselves. The process is called forgiveness. It goes way back.
Mantra
Love me in my error love me.
