Sometimes we may confuse the need John Baraona, Irene Bednar, Maxine Cerny, Raymond Chmielecki, to forgive for making excuses for wrongs committed. We Joe & Marcia Demko, Gary DiRosa, Ray Dmytriw, Margaret Double, may hear others or sometimes we ourselves say, “I can’t - Norbert Erker, Rita Fecek, Greg Findura, Anne Kilbane Friedl, forgive him or her for hurting me because they knew what Sandra Friedl, Frances Funtek, Sam Gappa, Josephine Gaul, Robert they were doing. He deliberately went out of his way to Gielski, John Gladden, Frank Gumina, Rose Marie Hewitt, Ron Hicks, Celeste Hurley, Marian Jarabek, Colleen Jarvis, Millie Jasany, Janet cause me pain. How can I forgive her?” But isn’t that the Johnson, Pat Jones, Betty Kilbane, Donald Kotarsky, Cynthia whole point of forgiveness? There really is no excuse for Kufleitner, Karen Kulju, Andrea Lagzdins, Dorothy Laquatra, wrong -doing. I was free and yet I made the decision to do Margaret Lewandowski, Michael Lieske, Corinne Lipinski, Elizabeth something wrong. That is exactly why I need to be Madar, Thomas Madej, Edward & Josephine Maskulka, Lenore forgiven. Jesus was preoccupied with forgiveness because Masterson, Claudia & Russell Mazanec, Peyton McCarthy, Rosemarie He knew that it was so important for our lives. We can Medvin, John Metzger, Dorothy Nagy, Jane Najlepszy, Mary Niec, Rose Nosse, Dora Oney, Agnes Padar, Ed Perko, Timothy Petro, live lives that are broken and full of unrest if we harbor Carrie Piechowski, Deanna Pisano, Nicholas J. Precario, Mary Jane & anger and vengeance toward others. This attitude can eat Nick Precario, Jan Ravas, Christopher Reeves, Leigh-Ann Revay, away at us. We can nurture this attitude and turn others Vinny Ruvo, Frances Rymut, Mary Sabo, Lorraine Schmidt, Robert & against the offender. We can then cause even more Teresa Setele, Margaret Sheridan, Joe Skerl, Helen Smith, Joan damage to relationships. Or we can make the decision to Smyke, Doug Stos, Sylvia Stibley, Diane Straub, Phyllis Tomaselli, forgive. Life is too valuable to be destroyed by an Alice Tucker, Loretta Vacca, Annie Vorndran, Beverly Von Alt, Cathy unforgiving heart.
