“Everyone thinks forgiveness is a lovely idea until he has something to forgive.”
― C.S. Lewis
When you struggle with forgiveness, find a crucifix, hold it in your hands and simply contemplate Christ. He said, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they are doing.” Look at the crown of thorns on his head. Look at the nails piercing his hands and feet. They killed him, and he forgave them from the heart! Most of the time, those who hurt us “do not know what they are doing” and usually there is a deeper issue that is piercing their heart. If you struggle with forgiveness, try to pray for that person who hurt you and beg Christ for the grace and strength to gradually let it go.
