In the latest episode of the Diocese of St. Cloud podcast Speaking of Faith, Tom Delaney, a Secular Franciscan, educational psychologist, and mental and behavioral health advocate explains forgiveness as both a gift and a process that integrates wrongdoing into one’s life story. He shares how forgiveness can offer health benefits and allows us to participate in salvation.
Using Jesus and Peter as an example, he describes restoring relationships without excusing injustice, distinguishes decisional from deeper emotional forgiveness and suggests formalizing forgiveness in writing. He also emphasizes how the home is a “school of forgiveness” and how the sacraments of reconciliation and Eucharist can help along the way.
