Host: Elena Rodrigues
Guest: Susan Brinkmann

Is forgiving possible? How can a father forget a man who has abused his son? Today Elena Rodríguez sits in for Johnnette Benkovic to talk to Sue Brinkmann about the news stories of the week. Sue is the staff researcher and journalist at womenofgrace.com and also a Third Order Carmelite.

While discussing the scandalous story of United Kingdom officials who allowed Pakistani men to rape 1,400 girls and did not stop it, Mark calls in wanting to forgive the man who abused his son. Sue explains how to forgive, the difference between forgiveness and forgetting and the need for forgiveness. Listener Phil chimes in to encourage Mark—man to man—in his struggle to forgive and offers a consideration to Mark and anyone else who has something to forgive.

Considering this might just be the tipping point to help you break away from what is preventing you from forgiving. Later, Fred calls in to share his witness. He is a registered sex offender but he has turned his life around and he shares how the Grace of God changed him. He insists forgiving is possible with God and he encourages Mark not to lose hope. We have many other calls that can change the way you think and the way you feel today and bring light to your day. It’s here and waiting for you. EWTN Radio’s Women of Grace.
