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.

What keeps me from forgiving others?

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