A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult. Proverbs 15:1/” A gentle answer turns away wrath”

. *Jesus bore the sins of the world, they mocked him and they jeered him* *He cried, “father forgive them for they know not what they do.”* *His prayer from high upon that cross was one of forgiveness for me and you* *He came to Earth with a message of love, tolerance and exoneration* *The answer he had for our offenses was to forgive our transgressions* *If we have truly accepted his love and forgiveness we will pass this on to others* *We will answer words of vengeance with those of love for that sister or brother.* *An angry retort provokes more anger but love will overcome words of spite* *Pray to God to purify your heart, keeping it pure to God’s delight*
