Forgive us our Debts
Transformation begins with Forgiveness
Quakers had high hopes for reform. Their goal--repentance. Their prayer for the prisoner--transformation.
What if the criminal does not recognize her debt? Her trespass? Her sin against another? Her choice to place herself in control?
Another word used for 'debt' is 'trespass'. Forgive us when we cross boundaries, deny dignity, give unwanted and unsolicited advice. Forgive us when we trample down new growth with our clumsy-footed self-righteousness. Forgive us when we share glimpses of secrets with those that are voyeurs of other people's pain.
