Pause for Thought

Pause for Thought

From Father Brian D鈥橝rcy, a Catholic Passionist priest:

There is a prayer which Christians say regularly and which disturbs me greatly when I think about it. It鈥檚 the Lord鈥檚 Prayer.

The part which disturbs me most is this: 鈥淔orgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us鈥�. That means I am asking God to forgive me in the same measure as I have forgiven others. That could be a blessing or a curse.

Forgiveness is absolutely essential for healthy living but is never easy. There鈥檚 no cheap forgiveness. There is no quick fix. It comes slowly and has to be constantly renewed. Generally we cannot forgive on our own. We need help to do it.

You鈥檝e often heard people say, 鈥渇orgive and forget.鈥� I don鈥檛 agree. Forgiveness is not the same as forgetting. Part of the process is to let go of festering hurts but that鈥檚 not the same as forgetting. Forgiveness is remembering and still letting go. It requires a change of heart because what we don鈥檛 transform we transmit.

Be proactive but not indifferent.聽 Nor should we allow those who hurt us to keep on doing it; equally, we have to accept that those who hurt us are often good people themselves. So keep a balance.

When I forgive someone I鈥檓 actually giving myself a fresh start; logically then I have to give the other person a fresh start too. 聽Don鈥檛 develop a martyr complex. 聽聽

This next step is the most difficult one to put into practice. I need to be willing to allow those who hurt me to live in peace so that I can have peace in my life. Just let of the past go and enjoy the present. It鈥檚 foolish to think we can hold unto the memory and not be consumed by the hurt.

Saying sorry is the easy part because it leaves me in control; asking for forgiveness hands control to the other. That makes me vulnerable.

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was me. When you forgive you don鈥檛 change the past but you sure do change the future.
