its ok then, do not doubt the mercy of god ,it’s said to err is human and to forgive is divine so we should completely depend on and rely on Jesus ,for we are not fighting against fleshy and blood as in Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.Luke 23:34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.”
”If a man finds it very hard to forgive injuries, let him look at a Crucifix, and think that Christ shed all His Blood for him, and not only forgave His enemies, but even prayed His Heavenly Father to forgive them also. Let him remember that when he says the Pater Noster, every day, instead of asking pardon for his sins, he is calling down vengeance on himself.”
–Saint Philip Neri
He who knows how to forgive prepares for himself many graces from God. As often as I look upon the cross, so often will I forgive with all my heart. (390)
–St. Faustina
‘To the extent that you pray with all your soul for the person who slanders you, God will make the truth known to those who have been scandalized by the slander.’
–St. Maximos the Confessor
For there are three ways of performing an act of mercy: the merciful word, by forgiving and by comforting; secondly, if you can offer no word, then pray - that too is mercy; and thirdly, deeds of mercy. And when the Last Day comes, we shall be judged from this, and on this basis we shall receive the eternal verdict.
–Saint Faustina Kowalska
This Blood that but one drop of has the power to win all the world forgiveness of its world of sin.
–St. Thomas Aquinas
I am innocent and I die innocent. I forgive with all my heart those responsible for my death, and I ask God that the shedding of my blood serves toward the peace of our divided Mexico.
–Saint Cristobal just before his executioners fired
The Christian law commands that we forgive our enemies and those who have wronged us. I must therefore say here that I forgive Taikosama. I would rather have all the Japanese become Christians.
–Saint Paul Miki one of the Martyrs of Nagasaki
Avoid slander because it is difficult to retract. Avoid offending anyone for to ask forgiveness is not delightful.
–Saint John Cantius
“He passed over his fall, and appointed him first of the Apostles; wherefore He said: ’ ‘Simon, Simon,’ etc. (in Ps. cxxix. 2). God allowed him to fall, because He meant to make him ruler over the whole world, that, remembering his own fall, he might forgive those who should slip in the future. And that what I have said is no guess, listen to Christ Himself saying: ‘Simon, Simon, etc.’”
–Saint John Chrysostom
