A MESSAGE FROM FR. DAVID
Forgiveness: The Very Essence of Our Faith
If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, you Father will not forgive your sins.
Matthew 6:14-15
Forgiveness is indeed the very essence of our faith. Please read this
adaptation from the book Transformation by Steve Arterburn that I found especially meaningful and applicable in our lives today. Blessings! Fr. David +

In Honduras, Carla is a strong-willed girl who's had to grow up fast, caring for her six-year-old brother Junior.

And eventually, the paths of Alice and Carla will cross ...
