I have posted this prayer in the past.  In fact, I tried to get Purity to learn this prayer once.  We only had one lesson.  This is number 3, I guess.

Why learn this prayer?

It is a very central prayer to the Christian faith.  But people of other faiths say it too.  It is a prayer of forgiveness.  You forgive others and ask for their forgiveness in kind.

Why should we forgive people who have wronged us?

Because, if you do not, that lack of forgiveness will EAT YOU ALIVE.  Forgiveness helps the one forgiving.  It can help the one needing forgiveness, but ONLY if they are truly sorry for their actions.

Why ruin YOUR life feeling bitterness, anger and sadness.  Get this out elsewhere: at the gym, running, or hiking.  You can punch your pillow. But do not turn this on yourself.  You deserve a happy life.  God wants this for you.

Did you ever do anything wrong?

Weren’t you glad when someone, who could have held your “sin” against you, chose instead to forgive you.

Listen…and forgive.  Forgive for your own sake if not for the other person.
