Break with the Past: Live in the Freedom of Redemption

Fr Varghese Parackal teaches that after repentance and forgiveness, we must not allow guilt to keep us tied to the past. Through the lost sheep, St Paul and vivid pastoral illustrations, he calls us to believe that Christ has redeemed us, leave what lies behind, and live the rest of our lives for the One who saved us.

The Spirit Who Unites: Let Divine Forgiveness Overflow

Fr Joby George VC reflects on the Holy Spirit as the Spirit who unites and on unforgiveness as a root that divides families, relationships and communities. Drawing on Scripture and his own struggles with anger and forgiveness, he explains why human forgiveness becomes exhausted and why we need to receive the forgiveness of Jesus from the Cross until it overflows from us to others.
