As we prepare for Easter, let us reflect on the words of Saint Michael the Archangel on forgiveness. May they become a reality for every man and woman of good will.

“Forgive your neighbour, even if you feel hurt. God does not ask you to justify evil but to pass beyond, to let go of resentments, which chain your spirit and dig a trench between you and the others. You are not asked to go arm in arm with your enemies but to avoid arguments totally. Forgiveness first liberates you, and then your enemies. Know that forgiveness is an extremely powerful spiritual force, which frees humanity from the chains of revenge and pours out upon the entire Universe. If each one of you learns to forgive from your heart, this force will expand, touch many souls, and bring an end to wars.”
