You Can't Walk Without Forgiveness

Today's Theme

You can't walk the path without copious amounts of forgiveness.

Scripture Reading

Ephesians 4:3
striving to preserve the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace:

Walk with Msgr. Don

Jesus revealed something that is absolutely essential if we're going to stay on the path.

We have to live lives of forgiveness.

You can't walk the path without copious amounts of forgiveness.

I think Saint Paul understood that better than almost anyone.

He had spent his life trying to destroy Christians. Yet Christ came to him and said, "I'm not interested in what you've done in the past. I need you. I love you. I've forgiven you."

That's the kind of forgiveness that keeps us walking.

Everything in life may be permissible, Paul says, but not everything is beneficial. Sin simply means we've wandered off the path.

God's invitation is always to come back and keep walking.

Your Reflection Questions

Where do I need God's forgiveness?

What burden have I been carrying too long?
