I apologize that you are confused but others seem to understand the generalities I'm discussing just fine. Perhaps you're missing the point of this post, which is:<br /><br /> My parish job is difficult at times and I have to preach Catholic teachings to difficult groups who aren't always disposed to the message. Jesus did the same thing and suffered worse. Why should I expect any different?<br /><br />That's it in a nutshell. That's the topic of the post. <br /><br />What is confusing and hard to follow about that? I guess I'm confused by your query.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-33080310045624439162011-02-25T12:44:28.127-06:002011-02-25T12:44:28.127-06:00What I am trying to day is that I don't know w...What I am trying to day is that I don't know whay you are talking about.

Often I wonder if Forgiveness is just an attempt to forget the offense...But that doesn't sound too right either. Nor always too smart.

I know this question has nothing at all ...Hi Adoro! I know this question has nothing at all to do with today's blog but I have come to respect your thoughts and would like to pick your brain. <br /> I want to ask you about forgiveness. It's such a basic and integral part of our Faith and yet many people, like me, aren't entirely sure what it means. What are the steps for forgiveness? . To recieve forgiveness from the Almighty I must Repent, ask forgiveness and make penance. Are we to ask this same process for those seeking OUR forgiveness? It often seems by the way that people talk about forgiveness that it should be a simple thing...I am not always so sure.Josehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13378941964114261649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-58871028018016076502011-02-21T12:27:38.122-06:002011-02-21T12:27:38.122-06:00Hopefully, these painful experiences are shortenin...Hopefully, these painful experiences are shortening your time in purgatory.

It's very common for people to hear their beliefs trashed in public or the media and they decide not to challenge them back only because they know their Faith is unpopular. At least you step up, no matter how difficult.Josehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13378941964114261649noreply@blogger.com
