In our beautiful and broken world, we see hostile situations arise daily, whether it’s a new war between countries or conflict in our homes. As Christians, we are given God’s gift of peace. This is a choice to always turn to peace and we need to nurture and grow this within ourselves. Our peace directly impacts our families and those we encounter each day, bringing light into the world. This is creating a culture of mercy and compassion which calls for a constant state of forgiveness. Without forgiveness, there is no peace.
Forgiveness adds dignity.
As Pope Francis recently said, “forgiveness takes away nothing from you but adds dignity to the person, it makes us lift our gaze from ourselves towards others, to see them as fragile as we are, yet always brothers and sisters in the Lord. Brothers and sisters, forgiveness is the wellspring of a zeal that becomes mercy and calls us to a humble and joyful holiness.”
Thank you, Lord, for helping us see that Your peace is the missing ingredient in our hearts.
