To truly live the Little Way and avoid Purgatory, we must be merciful to others. We must strive to show mercy. We must aim to forgive. Otherwise, we cannot hope for mercy (See Matthew 5:7, 18:21-35). This is part of our “trying” as we live the Little Way. So, how are you trying and striving to forgive? Is there anyone you need to forgive? The Lord knows it’s hard to forget, and forgiveness is sometimes a long process, but are you willing to forgive? What can you do to let go of bitterness and resentment?
