Practicing Forgiveness - A Weekend Retreat back

Theme: PRACTICING FORGIVENESS.  Jesus said, “When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins, as we forgive everyone who sins against us.” What does it mean to forgive? How do we find the path to forgiveness? In the silence, we will be invited to contemplate the example of those who are known for their capacity to forgive, to look with compassion on those who have wronged us, and to practice forgiveness towards others and ourselves.
