18
In the stillness of our hearts, we seek the grace to forgive, releasing the weight of past shadows that bind us. May we find the strength to let go of bitterness, and embrace compassion instead. Help us to understand that forgiveness is not a gift for others, but a liberation for ourselves. Teach us to see the humanity in those who have caused us pain, recognizing that we all stumble in this journey of life. As we open our hearts, may we be filled with warmth and peace, allowing love to guide our actions. Let the act of forgiveness be a bridge to healing, not only for ourselves but for the world around us. Amen.
