Centering Prayer & the Practice of Forgiveness
How many times have we heard or spoken the word “forgiveness”— in sermons, scriptures, inner promptings, prayers? We all have had countless opportunities to forgive our families, friends, co-workers, strangers, government, church, and ourselves. And yet how many times have our hearts been genuinely touched? Being honest with ourselves, have we been willing to forgive in some situations? Even with the best intentions, have we always been able to find access to our capacity to forgive?
There is so much more to forgiveness than we have yet discovered. Let us join together for a morning of contemplative reflection and dialogue on Jesus’ words and a Buddhist for- forgiveness meditation on offering and receiving forgiveness.
