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
