Forgiveness Sunday is a tradition Iām not familiar with, but I can certainly see a place for this observance. I also appreciate the Archbishops statement: "Spiritual health is like physical health, requiring a paced effort, with love, patience, and forgiveness ā for self and for others ā allowing God to work within us, transforming us into the Body of Christ.ā Amen.

Where Great Lent reminds me of my humanity the Resurrection of Christ reminds me of His love for us. We can rest in this because of Him.<br /> Alan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01192838076987472527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-48025829925730596682020-03-22T09:27:40.773-07:002020-03-22T09:27:40.773-07:00This is absolutely lovely, Alan.

The celebration of forgiveness is especially meaningful. This would be good to practice in all our churches, small group meetings, families and friendships. I often think of what David Jeremiah said, "Forgiveness is always our turn." May it be so for each of us. Sandi Somershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097011585168805837noreply@blogger.com
