UNLIMITED FORGIVENESS
The liturgy of the Word deals with the theme of forgiveness. The First Reading states that anger and wrath are abominations; the measure in which we forgive others will be the measure that we experience the forgiveness of the Lord. Experience of healing in our lives too will depend upon our willingness to let go of the various hurts in our lives. The Second Reading reminds us to do everything including forgiveness by being conscious of the fact that we belong to the Lord. In answering the question asked by Peter in the Gospel, Jesus reiterates the need to forgive without conditions. Humans as we are, we have experienced hurt. We also have hurt others. Experience of forgiveness helps us to live our Christian life more meaningfully. When we forgive, we experience forgiveness from God and others. Let us feel sorry for the revenge and ill-feelings that we have nurtured in our hearts.
