How many times must I forgive my brother if he sins against me? Seventy times seven, says Jesus in Matthew. And then he tells the story of the forgiven servant who refused to forgive. <br /> <br />This is one of the troubling parts of the gospel. How can I find it in my heart to forgive someone even as he is inflicting pain on me? If we have managed to reduce our own importance to the point that we are merely a window through which the light of God shines, it is possible... but in demanding this of us, God asks a great deal. As much as becoming small enough to pass through the eye of a needle.<br /> <br />--CharlesJohn (Juancito) Donaghyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711543214465586727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30408888.post-34532229496979319102010-01-27T19:31:07.002-06:002010-01-27T19:31:07.002-06:00The flag on the right is from the Resistance.
