Forgiveness a Catholic Approach

Description

In Forgiveness a Catholic Approach, Father R. Scott Hurd writes of the spiritual, psychological, physical, and social benefits of learning how to forgive and find peace. Drawing from his pastoral experience, Hurd examines how human weakness affects such things as our ability to forgive and reconcile, our capacity to trust, and how we cope when a plea for forgiveness is rejected by a person we have wronged. You learn that through these very experiences, you find a way to move forward in Jesus Christ and the sacraments. 2012 ACP award winner!

Find the help and encouragement you need to work through the process of forgiveness and find freedom in Christ. Explore what forgiveness is (and what it isn’t); how to forgive and why; how to work through anger; ways to forgive when we cannot reconcile; approaches to forgiving without condoning hurtful behavior; and help for forgiving members of the Church. Filled with vignettes of contemporary transgressions that have been transformed through acts of forgiveness—including situations of domestic violence, the Rwandan genocide, and the attacks of September 11, 2001—author R. Scott Hurd faithfully unpacks the many misunderstood dimensions of forgiveness to help readers journey towards freedom and peace.
