Confirmation Session on forgiveness for Parents, Sponsors and Candidates, pg. 4

This online experience is intended for those who were not able to attend the meeting at the church.

A Powerful Daily Forgiveness Practice

Do you ever wonder how people can forgive when something horrible happens to them... something like a child or a friend being murdered? People who forgive big things like that generally will say that they didn't do it by themselves. They had the help of God who forgave through them. They also say that they had to work on it every day, usually with a simple prayer.

Click on the document link below to download a simple prayer that you can use to build the power of forgiveness in your own life. Pray one of the prayers every day until you feel the power of forgiveness changing your mind and heart. You'll love the new freedom you experience... freedom from anger or the desire for revenge... freedom from guilt or shame.
