The mystery of forgiveness is central to the Christian perspective.  Forgiveness, though, is a challenge. It is a mystery. And it is a journey. It is an appointment that awaits each and every one of us.  Each and every one of us carries hurt, some of them very deep.  Each hurt presents with the challenge: to forgive or not to forgive.  The challenge is unavoidable.  The decision, however, is ours to make or otherwise.  It is our Christian discipleship that impels us each day to enter the journey of forgiveness.  It is here, perhaps more than anywhere else, that the depth of our Christian commitment becomes apparent or otherwise. It is in the challenge of forgiveness that we assert whether we really do believe that we are made for communion with one another or otherwise, that it is in communion with one another that life flows most deeply for us, and by which we are rendered with our deepest sense of humanity.  Not to forgive is to act in a way that is contrary to what we most deeply believe about ourselves, affirmed as it is in and through our memory of Jesus.
