FORGIVENESS

FORGIVENESS   is the most liberating act we can do for ourselves and for others. It brings us peace of mind and of heart; it helps us to heal and to grow. The more serious the offense, the more that is true and the more we need help from the Divine/Spirit within to forgive the one(s) or event which caused us so much grief and harm. It is a God moment.
Forgiveness is a decision, not a feeling; it is a decision setting us free.

To err is human; to forgive is divine.  Alexander Pope

Allah is Ever-Forgiving and most merciful.   Qur'an

Run towards me, I will run towards you.  Hadith

Let us rejoice. Your brother was lost and now is found.  Lost Son parable (Lk 15:11-32) which is really the story of the Merciful Father.

Forgive them, for they do not know what they do... Lk 23:34

Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.  Gandhi

When a deep injury is done to us, we never heal until we forgive.  Nelson Mandela

Forgive, set it free, let the wind carry it out to sea.   Anonymous

The ability to forgive is really part of the spiritual energy of courage.  Savary and Berne , p. 143,   KYTHING....The Art of Spiritual Presence.

Forgiveness is above all a personal choice, a decision of the heart to go against the natural instinct to pay back evil with evil.    Jean Paul II

For inner transformation, all spiritual teachers insist upon forgiveness both in the giving and the receiving.  R. Rohr

Forgiveness is the end of grievances.   John Welwood

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.  Confucius

DEATH

DEATH         Most people are afraid of even the word.   Yet, death means new life, free life , free of pain, worries, anxieties... new birth. The Buddhists recommend visiting morgues so as to realize the brevity of life here on earth and the importance of living well.  Christians and, I think that all spiritual people, urge us to reflect on that same truth. EVEN DEATH IS NOT TO BE FEARED BY ONE WHO HAS LIVED WISELY.   Buddha DO NOT FEAR FOR I AM WITH YOU , DO NOT BE DISMAYED FOR I AM YOUR GOD.  I WILL STRENGTHEN YOU.    Is 41:10 WHETHER WE LIVE OR DIE, WE ARE THE LORD'S.     Rom 14:8 DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY.    1 Cor 15:54 THE GRAVE IS ONLY A CURTAIN FOR THE PARADISE BEHIND.   Rumi LIFE AND DEATH ARE ONE, EVEN AS THE RIVER AND THE SEA ARE ONE.  K Gibran DEATH IS THE TRANSITION TO UNITY WITH ULTIMATE REALITY.  Thomas Keating THE OPPOSITE OF DEATH IS BIRTH....

JESUS, THE CHRIST TRINITY Why is Jesus called Jesus Christ? because Jesus is fully human and fully divine (paradox). How does Jesus fit into the triune God? Perhaps we can best see that in Jesus'prayer: THAT THEY MAY BE ONE AS YOU AND I FATHER ARE ONE... Granted we know that God is beyond gender but the term Abba/Father implies love, so Jesus becomes HIS unique beloved Son and the love we feel in our heart, is the Holy Spirit. Now we have Trinity called by Christians. Hinduism, the oldest religion calls it by different names: SAT, CHIT, ANANDA. TRINITY is one, universal, inclusive and a powerful reality. We are invited to dance with the joyful relationship of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. SAT-CHIT-ANANDA, BEING-KNOWLEDGE-HAPPINESS, FATHER-SON-SPIRIT, TRUTH IS ONE AND UNIVERSAL. Richard Rohr OFM from his book: DEVINE DANCE. FROM THE FIRST MOMENT OF THE BIG BANG, NATURE WAS REVEALING THE GLORY AND GOODNESS OF THE DEVINE PRESENCE...by Richard Rohr from his book UNIVERSAL CHRIST, ...
