[All day event] CHARITY is hugging a wayward father
- Description:
- "If you forgive... your Father in heaven will also forgive y ou." ~ Matthew 6:14
A young man, whose father had abandoned his family, was on retreat. At one point, he imagined himself kneeling befor e Jesus as he hung on the cross. He wrote:
"An enormous guilt was up on me. I wept for forgiveness. As I wept, God forgave me... He loved me in all my filth...I took the next day off from work to think and pray. While I was reading the Bible, I began to think of my father.... That night I we nt to his apartment and asked his forgiveness for hating him.... We hugged and kissed one another.... I took a cab most of the way home that night, b ut I wanted to walk the last couple of blocks. Joy overflowed me... With ar ms outstretched, I screamed, "I love you, God!" He blessed me greatly th at night. ~ Letter to Mark Link, S.J.

"We are like beasts when we kill. We are like men when we judge. We are like God when we forgive." ~ E. C....
