It is difficult to ask for forgiveness

“Pardon me” – Without these words, hurt can develop in our relationships and weaken our life as a family. But when we ask forgiveness, we show our desire to restore what was lost — respect, honesty, love — and healing between family members is made possible.”—Pope Francis

Reflection:
Do you find it more difficult to ask for forgiveness from family members than from friends and acquaintances? Has it been your experience that a lack of forgiveness leads to greater hurt?
