Forgive Us As We Forgive Others

In this powerful homily, Fr. Miguel dives into one of the most challenging teachings of Jesus: “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.”Forgiveness is not optional in the Christian life. Unwillingness to forgive becomes a serious obstacle to our own prayer and to receiving God’s mercy. Fr. Miguel reminds us that to forgive does not mean we have to forget or stop feeling the hurt. As the Catechism teaches (CCC 2843), while we cannot always control our memory or feelings, we can turn injury into intercession through prayer.Drawing from his own experience and the example of Christ on the Cross, Fr. Miguel offers practical wisdom: if you can’t forgive yet, tell the Lord honestly — even ask Him for the desire to forgive. God’s grace will do the rest.A deeply pastoral and freeing message on the power and necessity of forgiveness.
