May Her Soul Rest In Peace

Does mercy overlook justice? Justice demands that everyone be given

their due. So when is it right to show mercy and pardon to those who have

acted unjustly or wrongly? The prophet Amos speaks of God forgiving

transgression three times, but warns that God may not revoke punishment

for the fourth (see Amos 1:3-13; 2:1-6). When Peter posed the question of

forgiveness, he characteristically offered an answer he thought Jesus

would be pleased with. Why not forgive seven times! How unthinkable

for Jesus to counter with the proposition that one must forgive seventy

times that.

"Lord Jesus, you have been kind and forgiving towards

me. May I be merciful as you are merciful. Free me from

all bitterness and resentment that I may truly forgive from

the heart those who have caused me injury or grief."
