For Jesus talking about forgiveness was the most normal thing to do. The parable that we read this Sunday, where we are invited to forgive not only 7 times but also 70 times (Matthew 18: 21-35), is a proper catechesis for our time. The reader will think that the one who has been forgiven must forgive the companion because the king has acquitted him. However, the forgiven servant does not know how to sympathize and forgets to forgive. Therefore, the witnesses of this injustice cannot forgive him and ask the king to do justice. The king, indignant, withdraws his forgiveness and hands the servant over to the executioners. What is Jesus suggesting? Denial of forgiveness seems the most typical reaction to offense, humiliation, or injustice. Many persons think that the world would be better if order, strict justice, and the punishment of those who do wrong governed everything. What kind of society arises where forgiveness is eliminated? Would we make a world ruled like this more human? Forgiveness is the least expected of those who experience it with God's mercy. Loving the enemy, learning to forgive, looking at the other with different eyes are processes that liberate the person from hatred, from the spirit of revenge, and dispose of reconciliation. Forgiveness is difficult, both to receive it and to give it forgetting is not easy at all, but it is possible. However, forgiving is remembering without suffering. The Sunday's Gospel reminds us that forgiveness is fundamental because it is at the heart of the Gospel, transforming it into a lifestyle. "May the Lord teach us this wisdom of forgiveness. When we go to confession, let's first ask ourselves, do I forgive? If I feel that I do not forgive, let us not be phony about forgiveness. Asking for forgiveness means forgiving. They are two things together, and they cannot be separated. At least forgive out of personal interest: if I do not forgive, I will not be forgiven, at least this. " (Pope Francis)
