Good Reminders from Mass

Oh, I do love beautiful little reminders of Love! Tonight at mass, between what Father was saying and what the Holy Spirit was pouring into my brain, I was reminded of some pretty wonderful things:

• The root of the word forgiveness comes from the Latin word perdonare. It means "to give completely without reservation".........AWESOME.
• God forgives our sins completely-enough to die for them. When sacrificing Himself on the cross, He held nothing back. Our every sin was forgiven. Every last drop of sweat and blood was given for us.
• Living for Christ means we don't just acknowledge what's been done for us, but we try to duplicate that perfect Love in the way we treat others.
• Not only did our God sacrifice by coming down to this Earth and crucifying our sins on Calvary; He gives to us regularly in the blessed sacraments. He gives Himself willingly, totally, and unceasingly. He gives us Love with NO RESERVATIONS.

Ah.....God is so unbelievably good to us. May you always seek to forgive as we have been forgiven, and to hold nothing back.
