When you stand to pray, forgive anyone against whom you have a grievance, so that your heavenly Father may in turn forgive you your transgressions.
(Mark 11:25)
Once again, Lord, your timing impresses me. I read this passage during Week One of the Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola, which focuses on sin and forgiveness. Today, I considered the account in Genesis of the first sins, those of Adam and Eve and Cain. You punished them but you did not destroy them. The promise of forgiveness hovers over the story.
Please show me whom I need to forgive and whom, in addition to you, I have offended.
