“In Matthew 6:14, Jesus teaches us: If you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you forgive not men their trespasses neither will your heavenly Father forgive you. Forgiveness is a gift we give to someone else, but when we give it, we are the real beneficiaries.”

Father, thank you for this fresh reminder to extend forgiveness to all who sin against us and for your generous gift of divine mercy and abundant grace to us in return.
