| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 10/12/10 at 08:38 PM Thoughtfully expressed interpretation of Jesus' words. I believe we can forgive by God's grace, that is all that He expects of us. Others must face their own need to forgive when we've done our best to ask for their forgiveness (for wrongs intentionally or inadvertantly). |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 10/17/10 at 05:16 AM Fascinating and thought-provoking concept - forgiving the great reconciler himself. Thinking about those he left behind and what their judgments might have been - both his enemies and his friends. But really, it could apply to me, I have forgiven most but sometimes wonder if the many I have harmed could forgive me. Thanks for the yet another Sorrenti awakening whop up the side of the head. |
| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 10/19/10 at 11:48 AM I just reread this poem and realized it was of Jesus you were writing! Duh! It is unfortunate that all too many find it difficult to forgive God for perceived wrongs in this life. They surely will meet those accusations in the Judgement! |

| Posted by Joan Serratelli on 12/31/10 at 04:52 PM reads like a beautifully written prayer-thank you. great work; as always. |
| Posted by George Hoerner on 01/01/11 at 09:20 PM Not for my pain, but for all those who died thinking they were saved, for all the unexplainable terror inflicted upon the innocent, I could never forgive him. A great write Chris! |

| Posted by Drew May on 01/07/11 at 04:51 AM Beautiful work. Especially the last line. |
| Posted by James Blaylock on 03/20/11 at 02:52 PM Indeed it was the way it had to be. Jesus Christ knew that His time here was to make a mark. And He knew how it all would painfully unfold. Be blessed!
