HEALING OUR WOUNDS: Forgiveness in the Spiritual Life

We give them, we suffer them, our bodies hold on to them for years: Wounds. We can imprison ourselves in them and wither emotionally far too long without the transforming power of forgiveness. It is Divine Love that liberates us from resentment, self-pity and isolation. The love that forgives opens a path to inner freedom, allowing us to begin to live again in hope and gratitude. When we ponder such experiences, we desire to enter more personally into the mystery for forgiveness toward others, to become reconcilers ourselves. When the whole person – body, mind, and soul – engages in this endeavor, we may become our truest self, the person God intends us to be.
