Forgiveness

There is an excellent article in The Guardian last month by retired Archbishop Desmond Tutu on "'I am sorry' – the three hardest words to say."

Read the article here and an excerpt:

The simple truth is, we all make mistakes, and we all need forgiveness. There is no magic wand we can wave to go back in time and change what has happened or undo the harm that has been done, but we can do everything in our power to set right what has been made wrong. We can endeavour to make sure the harm never happens again.

On May 4, the Tutu Global Forgiveness Challenge will begin.  There is a free 30-day online program developed by Desmond and Mpho Tutu to teach the practical steps to forgiveness they share in their new book, The Book of Forgiving: The Fourfold Path for Healing Ourselves and Our World.
