A son nervously shows the index cards in his hands. His father looks on expectantly. Each card tells the story of the father who hurt him and his mother. Then the son writes something on a new card. Through tears, he holds up a card that says, "I forgive you." He falls to his knees in front of his crying father. Words flash across the screen from a quote by a Virginia Tech victim days before she was shot. "When deep injury is done to us, we never recover until we forgive. Forgiveness does not change the past. But it does enlarge the future." -Mary Karen Read

Share“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?” “I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said. And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived. You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume. Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.” Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
