Five Steps to Forgiving Someone

After my sermon last week, several people asked me if I would share the five steps to forgiving someone. So, here you go....
Five Steps to Forgiving Someone
- "Anyone Anonymous," Tim Timmons (1990)
1. Remind Yourself They're Only Human
"We tend to treat people like the fallible humans that they are, until they hurt us."
2. Relinquish Your "Right" to Get Even
"There is no way you can exactly duplicate for someone else the pain you feel."
3. Be Ready to Hurt in Order to Heal
"To forgive, you must be willing to bear the pain alone without any strings of revenge attached."
4. Really Wish them Well
"How can you say, 'I forgive them,' and secretly or publicly enjoy their demise or defeat at the same time?"
5. Repeat the Process
"You can count on the fact that once you have forgiven someone, you may be faced with feeling the hurt and the hate all over again through the various circumstances of life."

~Fr. Andrew Jarmus, Dean, St. Mary's Orthodox Cathedral, Minneapolis, MN

Service Cancellation Policy
  • No one should travel to church for services if the road conditions are dangerous.
  • No services will be cancelled. Most services will be live streamed (links available here on the website).
  • Those who cannot get to services should instead stay home, watch the live stream of the service if possible, and be happy in the knowledge that a priest and a chanter are singing the services and praying for them.
  • Cancellation of services and activities will be posted here on our website: www.stmarysoca.org

    Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.  (Galatians 6:2)
