FORGIVENESS
Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.
Without forgiveness life is governed by... an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation.
FORGIVENESS, ENDLESS CYCLE OF RESENTMENT AND RETALIATION
Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.
FORGIVENESS, LOVE IS AN ACT OF ENDLESS FORGIVENESS
Forgiveness is the answer to the child's dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again, what is soiled is made clean again.
I think the first step is to understand that forgiveness does not exonerate the perpetrator. Forgiveness liberates the victim. It's a gift you give yourself.
FORGIVENESS, FORGIVENESS LIBERATES THE VICTIM
