JESUS, the Master of all masters, “The Best of the Best”, when asked, by Pedro, his main disciple, about how many times he should forgive, if seven times seven, the Master replied: “I will not tell you until seven times, but up to seventy times seven ”.
Seven for Jews is a perfect and infinite number! Imagine you, reader, seventy times seven (it is not four hundred and ninety, as we think in Portuguese). It was an infinite number!
This uttered from the Master's mouth, from all teachers, Jesus!
You reader must be thinking ... but this is very difficult, especially today.
But this is really a challenge! But therein lies the merit for those who forgive. Win the gold medal in the spiritual life championship !.
FORGIVING IS NEEDED! Above all, for the sake of intelligence. For it is scientifically proven that hurt, anger, hatred, resentment and unforgiveness are behind hundreds of psychosomatic illnesses.
FORGIVING IS PROFIT IN HEALTH !. Forgive my brother and sister, as many times as necessary, but forgive from the heart and not from the outside !. If you have trouble forgiving, ask God to give you that grace. You will see that in time, you will be able to forgive with your heart and you will feel an incredible sense of peace and liberation!
Experience my brother and sister. Plant forgiveness in your heart; act with the water of mercy and the blood of the Lamb.
In doing so, you will be accumulating huge dividends in your heavenly savings.
The more you forgive, the more free you become !. Inner liberation, the most pleasant sensation that exists for a person's inner dynamics (DININ). The word forgive in Latin, PER + DONATE, means to get rid of everything that is heavy, bad; get rid of the burden that we carry on our backs and hearts. On the other hand, it is to DONATE what you have good to others. In the case at hand, it is to forgive the offenses that, eventually, someone caused you. Do the experiment!
All of this has the name EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE, which the Master of all teachers, JESUS, preaches to us in his gospels.
The Book of Ecclesiastical, Article 28, verses 1 to 5, says very wisely: Whoever takes revenge will suffer the Lord's vengeance, who will severely ask him for an account of his sins. ”
“Forgive the injustice your neighbor has done, and when you ask, God will also forgive the sins you have committed. If a man holds a grudge against another, how can he ask God to heal him? If you do not show mercy to your fellow man, how dare you ask for forgiveness of your own sins? If he, who is flesh, holds a grudge, who will forgive his sins? ”
Wise words from the Bible !. There is no need to add anything !.

Today, on the Catholic liturgical calendar, LENT begins today, a very special time of CONVERSION, forgiveness, fasting, almsgiving, reconciliation and joy as well. It is not a time, as the ancients said, of sadness, a frown, a bad mood. It is a matter of joy, without losing its real sense of life change. Get out of a life of addictions to a life of virtues!
It is a time to think about our relationship with God, with others and with nature.
I suggest some practical things we can do to please God. Fasting from “gossip”, cigarettes, coffee, chocolate, soap operas, television, cell phones, internet (even if it is one day a week), drink, in short, consciously RESIGN to something we like very much , and we offer this SACRIFICE to God, as a remedy for the sins committed by humanity to his Most Sacred Heart; it is an act of love, of faith, of reconciliation!
I now remembered the Prophet Isaiah, in chapter 58, verses 6 to 8, says: “The fast I want is this: to end unjust imprisonments, to undo the chains of the yoke, to release the oppressed and to break any yoke; sharing food with those who are hungry, hosting the homeless poor in their home, dressing the naked, and not closing in on their own people. If you do this, your LIGHT WILL SHINE like AURORA, your wounds will heal quickly, the justice you practice will go before you and the glory of Yahweh will come with you ”. ( 1 )
