Revenge, vendetta, is natural, the most human thing to do; but if we continue to be dispensers of guilt and resentment, we will not be able to reach the world with a message of grace. Let us remember that right at the heart of the 'Our Father', with which Jesus taught us to pray, lies the difficult and unnatural act of forgiveness; a forgiveness that must be given from the heart to everyone equally, to those who think like us and to those who are directly our adversaries. Forgiveness is an act of faith; when we forgive another person, we leave in the hands of the Lord the scales that will strike the balance between justice and mercy.
