"And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us"


What a man sows that shall he reap! So, he who sows forgiveness cannot but reap the same. This prayer presupposes that the person praying not only knows and acknowledges this Law of the Most High, but shows that he has complete confidence therein!

No doubt, actions born out of the intent to revenge cannot proceed from a pure heart. Such actions reek of guile and evil intentions which makes such actions wrong!He who has forgiven his fellow men will not act based on such intentions but will proceed from a clarified and mature mindset.

Through this prayer however, we receive from our Father the strength to always think, speak and act out of love, do only that which will be of benefit to our neighbours, and seeking the welfare of our fellow men.
