“If you do not receive him who repents, because you are merciless, you sin against the Lord God for you do not obey Our Lord and God in acting as He acted.”

~Anonymous (Teaching of the Twelve Apostles)

For Reflection:

With regard to forgiving those who have offended me, how “God-like” am I? Today, I pray to receive the grace to forgive that one person against whom I have withheld mercy.
