Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us Matthew 5:32

It is good to have painful remembrance of that which has been done which ought not to have been done in the mind or heart or in your relationship towards your Heavenly Father or your fellow men. As with physical pain it intimates that hurt has been done but that if that hurt is rightly treated and tended all will be well. What must be guarded against is neglected aggravation . From such arises sickness of the whole body as well as persistent harm in the wounded member.

Seek first the forgiveness of your Heavenly Father in all incidents where the conscience accuses, then the light of Our Holy Spirit and My saving grace. Then you will see clearly to rectify that which has gone amiss and re-establish right relationships. Do not overlook the importance of forgiving yourself. For that is an important part of the reconciliation in which all have a part. Striving to forget is as important as the act of forgiving where you yourself have been hurt or offended without cause by another.

Finally, rejoice in the love of your Heavenly Father which embraces to Himself the penitent and the forgiving.
