Feast of St. Francis of Paola, Hermit (1416 – 1507)

"Pardon one another so that later on you will not remember the injury.St Francis of Paola The recollection of an injury is itself wrong. It adds to our anger, nurtures our sin and hates what is good. It is a rusty arrow and poison for the soul. It puts all virtue to flight. It is like a worm in the mind: it confuses our speech and tears to shreds our petitions to God. It is foreign to charity: it remains planted in the soul like a nail. It is wickedness that never sleeps, sin that never fails. It is indeed a daily death.”

For Reflection:

Who do I need to forgive? What was the injury? How can I begin the forgiveness process this moment?
