The call to forgive. (Matt 18: 21-35) How can I love my spouse and bring life? We are called to set aside resentment and listen with understanding. In today’s Gospel, the servant who is forgiven refuses to forgive another. God forgives us everything, but are we willing to let go of the hurts caused by our spouse?
