What right do we have to limit the amount and degree of forgiveness we show to others when we are so desperately in need of it ourselves? In not wanting someone who hurt us to downplay or forget the gravity of their wrong, we cling to anger, resentment, and wrath as a way of maintaining control. It is a way to acknowledge and express our deep hurt. We fail to realize that in doing so we hold ourselves hostage to these destructive feelings and actually become mired in the bondage of sin. All we gain is further alienation from ourselves, others, and especially God. We are no longer free but tethered to all of this unresolved negativity. Perhaps we think that in offering forgiveness, even for the most grievous of wrongs, somehow excuses the person of their wrong and makes it almost acceptable.

This is what makes revenge, retaliation, and punishment so attractive. We see forgiveness as being an eraser that easily wipes away the offense without consequence. Or, we may believe that in offering forgiveness I must somehow forget the wrong and open myself as a victim of even greater possible hurts in the future. In fact, forgiving someone of their wrongful actions or attitudes involves none of this. It does not erase anything or position me vulnerably as a doormat to be walked on. Forgiveness is an act of freedom that restores honest dialogue and acknowledges the consequences of an action. It admits that the wrong has caused a hurt that must be healed and squarely positions responsibility on the offender. The act of forgiveness recognizes our sinfulness and brokenness. With forgiveness, I release myself from the bonds of negativity and pursue a path of restoration and healing. I do not forget the wrong nor do I dismiss it. Sometimes, we have to stay far away from the one who hurt us. But we can still heal internally and be free. This is exactly how God treats us. Why would we not want to do the same for others?

LAY FRATERNITY OF SAINT DOMINIC

Setenta veces siete, son muchas las veces que hay que perdonar.

Perdonar no es fácil, y Pedro lo sabía, por eso propone una cifra cuantitativa. Sin embargo, Jesús va más allá de esa cifra, dando una respuesta inesperada. “Jesús, le contesto: No te digo siete, sino setenta y siete veces”. (Mateo 18:21-22). Enseguida, Jesús, narra como enseñanza catequética la parábola del que no perdonó a su compañero. El perdón no debe tener límites, lo decimos todos los días al rezar el Padrenuestro. Perdonar al hermano, a la hermana, al amigo, a la esposa, al esposo de corazón, sinceramente, sin medida. Difícil ¿verdad? Todo el relato de la parábola, muestra un contraste muy grande, entre la persona que debe mucho y la bondad del rey. Al perdonarle todo sin esperar nada a cambio. Ya perdonada la deuda, surge el hecho de un compañero que debía poco y éste se pone muy exigente que le pague. La enseñanza aquí es ver la infinita misericordia de Dios que supera la exigencia del compañero ingrato con su amigo. El Señor Jesús, nos perdona en el Sacramento de la Reconciliación.

El confesarse no ha pasado de moda como muchos creyentes piensan. El Papa Francisco dice que: “Dios nunca se cansa de perdonar, somos nosotros los que nos cansamos de pedir perdón”.

¿Cuántas veces acudes al Sacramento de la Reconciliación?

Cuando perdonas ¿lo haces desde el fondo de tu corazón?

Pidamos, al Señor en la Eucaristía de este Domingo, que nos dé la gracia de saber perdonar al que nos ofende.

"Si a alguien le resulta muy difícil perdonar las heridas, mire un crucifijo y piense que Cristo ha derramado toda Su Sangre por él, y no solo perdonó a Sus enemigos, sino que también pidió al Padre Eterno que los perdonara".
