Michael Payyapilly VC, Director of Divine Retreat Centre Colombo, Sri Lanka and Rev. Fr. Joseph Kannampally VC, Regional Superior of Andhra Region of Vincentians, India. This video is the 5th talk of Day 2 by Fr. Michael Payyapilly VC. Fr. Michael grace-filled talk on Forgiveness is heart-provoking to help every Catholic realize the great healing power of forgiveness on each of us and our loved ones. "Out of all the sins in Christianity, the greatest sin is UNforgiveness. Because unforgiveness goes against the very Nature of Christ. Christ's Nature is the nature of forgiveness." "Jesus' Incarnation - His Coming into our world - is an act of forgiveness so that we may be saved." "The Lord is challenging us about the sin of unforgiveness and bitterness." "Forgiveness is a free gift because we have been forgiven." "It is impossible to be immersed in prayer if I have unforgiveness in me." Fr. Michael shared the miracle of a child's healing because of the forgiveness of his mother towards a family member. "One person's forgiveness in the family opened the door of grace for healing for a family member," "Unforgiveness is the greatest lie that satan puts into the heart of a human person." "See the Cross of Jesus. Lord, my forgiveness is seen on Your Cross. My call to forgiveness is seen on the Cross as well."
