Welcome to our fifth week together in this Lenten season. This quote has been on my mind:
“The reasons for forgiving ourselves are the same as for forgiving others. It is how we become free of the past. It is how we heal and grow. It is how we make meaning out of our suffering, restore our self-esteem, and tell a new story of who we are. If forgiving others leads to an external peace, forgiving ourselves leads to an internal peace.”
Desmond and Mpho Tutu, The Book of Forgiving
Let us look at those closest to us- the ones that can hurt us the most- close family and friends.
