The Grudge that Owns You

from Hill Country Homilies · host Abp. Irineos

Why is it so difficult to forgive? In this homily on the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, Archbishop Irineos explores the shocking contrast between the infinite mercy God extends to us and the small measure of mercy we often extend to others. Drawing on the wisdom of the Holy Fathers, he explains why resentment becomes a prison of our own making, why true repentance and forgiveness are inseparable, and why Christ commands us to forgive not merely with our words but from the depths of our hearts.We welcome all visitors to join us at Holy Annunciation Orthodox Church, in the northwestern suburbs of Austin, Texas.
