A well tried remedy for what seems to be ailing society in a big wayforgiveness.

Most Reverend John Favalora

Archbishop of Miami, from the Foreword

A heartrending and inspiring collection of stories drawn from personal experiences, reminding us that "Christian forgiveness is about remembering, not forgetting." Facing Forgiveness is an excellent and practical resource for all who struggle to forgive and for those accompanying others on this sometimes painful, but ultimately freeing journey.

Edith Prendergast, R.S.C.

Director of Religious Education, Archdiocese of Leos Angeles

In an era when the capacity to forgive seems pushed to its limits, this eloquent hook radiates much needed hope. These touching and powerful stories are required reading for the heart. Facing Forgiveness is an interactive work of the best practices for a healthy and whole spiritual life.

Br. Joel Giallanza, C.S.C.

Vicar for Religous, Diocese of Austin, Texas, and author of Source and Summit

The down-to-earth stories are gems that show the reader what forgiveness means and how to choose it. Filled with practical wisdom, this is an ideal resource for personal spiritual growth and small group reflection.

Sheila Garcia

Secretariat for Family, Laity, Women, and Youth, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops

This exceptional hook describes how real lives are changed by a person's ability to forgive, the true essence of Christianity. A must-have resource for all pastoral ministers, parish teams, caregivers, and grief groups.

Linda Amadeo, RN., M.S.

Executive Editor, Human Development magazine

Facing Forgiveness is a truly uplifting work that will draw the reader into the beauty and importance of forgiveness. This book should serve as a way for many people to heal from deep injustices against them.

Robert Enright

Professor of Educational Psychology, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Picture 15here seems to he more than enough anger to go around these days. It's as if there's something in the water. Nightly on television we witness the horrible yioIence that pervades our urban centers, and that has now, sadly, reached our once placid rural areas. It is on the screen, in the music, in our schools, in our hones. A lot of people have a lot of anger.

The sad thing is that most angry people don't know that they are angry, and if they do, they don't know what to do about it. Facinrj Forgiveness is a very helpful examination of conscience with moving personal testimony on behalf of letting go of anger and welcoming the gift of healing through forgiveness. Some people need professional assistance to deal with their anger, but most people don't need to face a psychiatrist, they need to face themselves.

Christians have the ultimate example of forgiveness in Jesus on the cross. This refreshing book is filled with numerous stories illustrating how forgiveness is also happening today all around us. It invites the reader to discover or rediscover what the Church through its sacranment of reconciliation has taught and preached down through the centuries. Every sincere penitent knows the treasure that forgiveness is for the spirit. It is resurrection; it is life.

I salute this talented Brother, Sister, Bishop Team for authoring this book about a wise, down-to-earth, practical, well-tried remedy for what seems to be ailing society in a big way-forgiveness.

Most Reverend John Favalora

Archbishop of Miami
