2 - Reflect
Many times we think that we can never forgive someone for something they did to us. We go to bed wrapped up in anger, we do not let go of this burden that ends up hurting us. It can become an illness, both physically and spiritually, that makes our body sick. These are signs that something is not right, so we will take into account that we may have to modify our actions and it will only be possible when we forgive. As Jesus Christ absolved us of all our sins on the Cross, and interceded before God the Father to give us His forgiveness. If Our Father forgave all humanity, who are we to not be able to follow His example?
When we really cannot find a way to forgive others, we must pray for ourselves, so that the Lord may enlighten us and allows us to find that indulgence. Meditate on what happened, humbly and sincerely. No person can be unworthy of the forgiveness of another, if they are Christian brethren. Our destiny is not to abandon the values that the Holy Church instilled in us. At some point, we can all make mistakes, but the important thing is to keep a merciful and compassionate heart, in which there is no room for resentment. That way, we will be free from anguish and grief.
