We pray these words all the time: “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” But what does that really mean?

Forgiveness can feel impossible…especially when the hurt runs deep. But Jesus doesn’t ask us to forgive on our own. In this video, we explore how the Lord’s Prayer invites us to offer our wounded hearts to God and ask for the grace to forgive. This teaching reflects the reality that we can’t simply forget or ignore the pain others have caused us. Jesus knows that.

Reflect on how Christian prayer transforms us not by erasing the pain, but by opening our hearts to the grace that can heal it. Through prayer, God forms us into people who forgive because we have been forgiven — and because His mercy is stronger than our hurt.
