The group had a lively discussion of Forgive us Our Sins/Debts/Trespasses, as we forgive those who Sin against us. Some of us found it helpful to think of Forgiving in terms of Reconciling with the other person. While forgiveness doesn't mean condoning a wrong, it doesn't prohibit a repairing of the breach, and reconciliation.
It can be easy to judge and be unforgiving, sometimes without meaning to. Behind our masks, we may be frowning and thinking unkind thoughts. This video by Pluto the Dog is a cute way of thinking about that.
We also shared ways we were blessed by sending cards, or visiting with someone.
On August 28, we'll discuss Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil The between class work is here.
Another version of the Lord's Prayer was shared by Cathy W., which might be worth pondering, too:
Father of us all,
Who lives in heaven,
Help us to love and
honor your name.
Let
your great Kingdom of Love spread over all the world,
And help us all to do
what pleases you here on earth as it is done in heaven.
Give us all we need for
this day.
And forgive us the wrong
things we do just as we forgive those who do
wrong things to us.
Do not let us go into
any place where we might do wrong.
But save us from all
harm and danger.
