Forgive – by Oscar E V Fernando What does it mean-to forgive? Is it to stop being angry with or pardon a person who has wronged you, there being a long list of words describing forgiveness such as-excuse-exonerate-absolve-acquit-all sounding legalistic and derivations from legal statutes-or verdicts of a bench of judges-others like-let go of-not feel resentful-not feel vengeful-connote equanimity and calmness of temper arising from the spirit within-conceptualizing natural justice or equity!

SUNDAY CHOICE Last Sunday on the 23rd of May 2021 my nephew Jerome Rulach went to be with the Lord. He was ailing for sometime and God in His Mercy took him into His loving care. Death is certain.

Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you where I am you may be also. John 14:2 ...
