“Beloved: I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you . . . I appeal to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment . . . So if you consider me your partner, receive him as you would receive me. If he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, charge that to my account.” Philemon 7, 10, 17-18. St. John Paul II said, “Do not forget that true love sets no conditions; it does not calculate or complain, but simply loves.”
Let us pray: Lord Jesus, in Your infinite love and mercy, You never cease to welcome us back whenever we turn away from the Father. Give
us the grace to overcome our pride, let go of resentment and forgive wholeheartedly, so that we may sincerely embrace those who have wronged us, welcome them back with open hearts and restore them in love. May our mercy reflect Yours. Amen. Let your light shine!! Be blessed. Larry.
