The art of forgiving one another

It's been a long time since i attended the holy mass ..and the last gospel i heard was about forgiving one another..Forgiving someone for a hurt is not easy. A desire for revenge comes more naturally, specially for me. I'm not that kind of person who can forgive easily..

In Luke 17:3-4 Jesus says, “I am warning you! If another believer sins, rebuke him; then if he repents, forgive him. Even if he wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, forgive him"

"forgiveness is to set a prisoner free, and to realize the prisoner was you."

I too am in need of forgiveness. If God did not withhold his forgiveness from me, why should I withhold my forgiveness from another?

So here I am.. To all those i've hurt, I am now asking for your forgiveness and to all those who have hurt me, I am now forgiving you so I can set my heart free of anger,bitterness,resentment and hurt that previously imprisoned me.

Footnote: I wrote this note a year ago.Like I said it's just a note.How I wish I can forgive everyone from everything.. Oh my God, how I really wish...
