Sermon: Forgiveness: When, What, Why, How…


Matthew 18: 21-35*
The Rt. Rev. Dr. Bonnie A. Perry
Recorded at The Cathedral Church of St. Paul, Detroit
Visiting: Trinity, Belleville

Forgiveness means: I give up the right for revenge or recompense. It doesn’t always lead to reconciliation. It’s hard work that can begin with a quick action and can continue with a long process of change. It’s an act that I can practice and train up in my soul. Creating the muscle of forgiveness, will be less work than being a victim and being held hostage to the grudges I cannot bear to relinquish.
