QUOTE="ViaCrucis, post: 73012911, member: 293637"]We have Christ set before us as our Example, that we might follow in His steps (1 Peter 2:21), how does our Lord show us the way? He forgives preemptively, this He does time and again. Indeed, He has shown us in His own Prayer, "forgive us our trespasses even as we forgive those who have trespassed against us."
In light of the forgiveness we have received, unconditionally in Christ and from Him, let us therefore set our gaze upon Him, walking forward in forgiveness.
None came before Him as He bore Himself naked on the cross in suffering to seek His forgiveness, but what does He say? "Father, forgive them!"
Go and do likewise.
