Reflections

His master summoned him and said to him, “you wicked servant. I forgave you your entire debt because you begged me to. Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant, as I had pity on you?
(Matthew 18:32-33)

Lord, you forgive me again and again, much more than 77 times. What right do I have, then, to hold a grudge against anyone who hurts me? Please take from me any anger that I still cling to, and any instinct to avoid people who insult or annoy me. Give me compassion for all my brothers and sisters. I ask this in your name, my Jesus.
