Today is the feast of The Holy Family. All families are holy, aren't they? Holy, however, does not equal perfect. In all families we have times of brokenness, hurt, anger. How do you heal this brokenness? 
Forgiveness. Just as Jesus forgives us for our sins, we are called to forgive others as well. Forgiveness is not easy. It's a decision. It's love. Forgiveness is acceptance of others...of their whole selves, not just the good parts. Can I forgive myself as well? Accept me as God accepts me - good, bad, AND the ugly?
