Father R. Scott Hurd writes of the spiritual, psychological, physical, and social benefits of learning how to forgive and find peace.
He examines how human weakness affects such things as our ability to forgive and reconcile, our capacity to trust, and how we cope when a plea for forgiveness is rejected by a person we have wronged.
We learn that through these very experiences, we find in Jesus and the sacraments a way to move forward toward healing.
