You To Have The Power To Forgive
As Jesus was on the cross, He looked at the men who had crucified Him with love. He cried out to His heavenly Father and begged not for revenge, or even justice, but mercy. We need to take a few moments to contemplate the words Jesus used because something of His power to forgive is imparted to us. “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.” It’s very difficult to forgive by ourselves, but as we contemplate our Lord on the Cross, we can ask for the grace to forgive so that we are able to say, “Father, forgive them for what they have done.”(Fr. Joseph Mary Wolfe, MFVA)
As we work this week to find a way to grow closer to Jesus you’re encouraged to spend time in the Adoration Chapel. Jesus is present body, blood, soul and divinity and waiting for you. This is the same Jesus who celebrated Passover Thursday night, the same Jesus who hung on the cross Friday, and the same Jesus who rose from the dead Sunday. Think about it … get your heart around it and know ~ God is here.
