This is the movement of the Holy Family.

Welcome to our Rosary Meditation.

Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

To whom do you harbor anger, resentment, or hatred?

On the surface, no one you might say. Look deeper. Who has wronged you, hurt you,

altered your life in some negative way? Of whom do you feel if this person were never in my life,

or if they would change, then my life would be good.

Forgive them.

You don't see it yet, but your anger, hatred, and unforgiveness imprisons you.

So forgive them now.

Your freedom, peace, and happiness depend upon it.

And your eternal salvation may even depend upon it.

In the Our Father, we set the standard for how we will be forgiven when we pray,

forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And the catechism says that our petition will not be heard unless we have first met the strict requirement of forgiving others.

Now, and this is daunting.

These are the words of the catechism.

This outpouring of mercy cannot penetrate our hearts

as long as we have not forgiven those who have trespassed against us.

Our salvation literally depends on us forgiving others.
