Christmas: Forgiveness in the family


As the Octave of Christmas continues, we reflect on the importance of forgiveness, remembering that God sent his Son so that we may be forgiven.

By Francesca Merlo

A series of programmes dedicated to the power of forgiveness bring us the personal stories and reflections of real people who have found freedom and renewal in the will and in the capacity to forgive.

In this second of the series, we hear from Tom, a 22-year-old from Manchester in England.

In this programme conceived and produced by Francesca Merlo, Tom talks about the desire he has to be forgiven for all the times he was unable to fully express himself to two of the most important people in his life: his parents.
