FORGIVENESS

Nearly ten years before, a son and father had parted ways when the business they shared went bankrupt. The

son blamed the father. They did not speak to each other again. Then the father became seriously ill. The

mother called the son and told him he had better come soon. The son walked sheepishly into the hospital

room. The father motioned his son to him and whispered: "Did you ever think you could do anything that

would keep me from loving you?" Resentment and anger are foul things, the first reading from Sirach tells

us. Remember the last things. Stop hating. Live by the commandments. As Saint Paul writes to the Romans,

we are to live for the Lord and die for the Lord.

Jesus' parable in today's Gospel reminds us of God's compassion. The immense sin of humanity has been

forgiven and stricken from the record. We are to forgive others in the same way. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Forgive Others There are many kinds of alms

the giving of which helps us to obtain pardon for

our sins; but none is greater than that by which we

forgive from our heart a sin that someone has

committed against us. --St. Augustine
