“It is not easy to forgive, because in quiet moments one says: “Yes, this has done me all the colors but I too have done many. Better to forgive to be forgiven.” But then the resentment returns, like an annoying summer fly that comes and goes and comes back ... Forgiving is not just a matter of a moment, it is a continuous thing against this rancor, this hatred that returns… We cannot expect God's forgiveness for ourselves if we do not in turn grant forgiveness to our neighbor.”
Pope Francis
