St. Helen’s Daily Lenten Devotional

“Forgiveness is not dependent on the actions of others.”
(Desmond Tutu and Mpho Tutu in The Book of Forgiving)

Has God ever asked you to forgive?
Not forget…Forgive.

A family member…
A co-worker…
A stranger…
A system or an institution…
A church member or The Church…
God…
The past…
Yourself…

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone.
Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:13

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, ‘Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?’ Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.’
Matthew 18:21-22

You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you. Psalm 86:5

Father, forgive them…Luke 23:34
