February 21 - St. Peter Damian

Jesus said to his disciples: “Be merciful, just as (also) your Father is merciful. Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven” (Luke 6: 36-37).

This also is very straightforward. We hope and want God to forgive us for the many times we have offended him. But at times we find it very hard to forgive others. It is only just for us to forgive.

Lord God, thank you for the many times you have forgiven me.
