PLEASE FORGIVE ME
Sirach 28:2-3
Forgive a wrong done you by your neighbor;
Then your sins will be pardoned when you pray.
Can a man preserve wrath against his neighbor
And still seek healing from the Lord?
Personal Challenge
Today, in the Eastern Orthodox tradition, Forgiveness Sunday is practiced. In most, if not all, of our parishes, people will be asking for forgiveness of one another for offenses committed throughout the year. This is done in preparation for Lent, which starts tomorrow. In the Western tradition of may liturgical parishes and churches, last Wednesday was Ash Wednesday, where we were reminded that we came from the dust of the earth to which we will return, and again it was a time of repentance and seeking forgiveness.
My family friends, and acquaintances, I come to you today seeking your forgiveness for the wrongs that I have perpetrated against you. Please forgive me!
