Simply Prayer: Father Forgive Them

  • St. Francis Center for Renewal 395 Bridle Path Road Bethlehem, PA, 18017 United States (map)

Sister Marguerite

As we approach the final days of Lent, we hear those heartrending words of Jesus: “Father, forgive them.” He is begging the Father for forgiveness of those who so heartlessly crucified him. What a marvelous example of forgiveness for us. We and our world are in great need of the God-given gift of forgiveness. Join us as we look into what forgiveness is (and what it is not), and how we can grow in this gift so necessary in our lives right now.
