Let Us First Forgive, That We May Be Forgiven
`Forgiveness Sunday serves as a vital extension of the Sunday of the Last Judgment. If serving our neighbor is serving Christ, then making peace with those who have hurt us is making peace with Christ Himself.
We need to remember that any resentment we harbor acts as a wedge between us and the Lord; we cannot truly draw near to Christ while pushing a brother or sister away. As the Scripture warns: "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, and clamor be put away from you" (Ephesians 4:31).
To experience the peace of Christ during Great Lent, we are called to be active peacemakers— especially with those who hurt us, offend us, or just "get under our skin." By laying down our grievances, we clear the spiritual path for the Holy Spirit to work within us.
This season, let us embrace the promise: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God" (Matthew 5:9). As we begin the Fast, let us first forgive, that we may be forgiven.
~Fr. Andrew Jarmus, Dean, St. Mary's Orthodox Cathedral, Minneapolis, MN
