At Mass this morning I was thinking about 1 Corinthians 13. One of St. Paul's admonitions about love emphasizes that it doesn't keep a record of wrongs. Obviously, if we keep a record of wrongs about our neighbors, we are likely to build walls against them and even stud the walls with the barbed wire of grudges and desire for revenge. To not keep a record of wrongs, we need to foster the virtue of forgiveness.
