Question:
Bishop, my name is Danny and I would like to ask you for some advice. I met a person, a while back, who hurt me very much. He did terrible things to me and ultimately betrayed my trust. Since then, I’ve carried this pain with me and I know this isn’t the right thing to do. I do not want to lose my salvation but I’m not able to forgive him. Please help me. What should I do?
– Danny A.

Answer:
Danny, one of the most helpful ways to forgive someone is to pray for them. The pain you are feeling has no effect on this young man, only on yourself. You are only feeding the feeling that’s inside you. In the end, you are the only one who’s going to suffer!
