November 29
I decided to write a letter today to request forgiveness for years of anger and resentment... and to offer my own forgiveness for the reasons for that pain….
I sat pondering what to write…. Wondered if I could really forgive… If I could really let go… there was a part of me that just wanted to hold on to the anger and resentment….some darkness that didn't want to let go.
Then Ave Maria began to play…. And tears streamed down my face as it became abundantly clear to me that the Lord wants love and grace for me and not anger and resentment. I finished the letter and sent it.
May this touch you in some way that it touched me as well. And may forgiveness light your path of love.
The video is poor, but the song is moving…. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and let the darkness melt away and the light of love fill you.
From Wikipedia:
AVE MARIA:
The prayer incorporates two passages from Saint Luke's Gospel: "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee" (Luke 1 28: ... and "Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb" (Luke 1:42:...
The first of the two passages from Saint Luke's Gospel is the greeting of the Angel Gabriel to Mary, .. The opening word of greeting, χαῖρε, chaíre, here translated "Hail", literally has the meaning "Rejoice", "Be glad"....
The word κεχαριτωμένη, (kecharitōménē), here translated as "full of grace", admits of various translations. Grammatically, the word is the feminine present perfectpassive voice participle of the verb χαριτόω, charitóō, which means "to show, or bestow with, grace" and, in the passive voice, "to have grace shown, or bestowed upon, one".[2][3]
