Let us remember that forgiveness is one of the greatest gifts we can give to each other.  Forgiveness is an active verb, to be offered rather than asked for.  We will often regret our actions, and we must appropriately apologize.  Forgiveness must come from the offended, genuinely and unconditionally.  May we offer our forgiveness often and abundantly, to heal ourselves and to heal each other.   We are thankful for Forgiveness.  Blessed  Be, and Amen.
