“The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.”
“As we practice the work of forgiveness we discover more and more that forgiveness and healing are one.”
“We ask for forgiveness. And we forgive others who ask us. In that way we can experience healing, healing in our souls.”
“Hospitality is the practice of God's welcome by reaching across difference to participate in God's actions bringing justice and healing to our world in crisis.”
“It is not on our forgiveness any more than on our goodness that the world's healing hinges, but His. When He tells us to love our enemies, He gives, along with the command, the love itself.”
“Forgiveness is a strange thing. It can sometimes be easier to forgive our enemies than our friends. It can be hardest of all to forgive people we love. Like all of life's important coping skills, the ability to forgive and the capacity to let go of resentments most likely take root very early in our lives.”
