Anger toward my father shaped too many of my adult years. A Lenten parish retreat asked us to examine unforgiveness without excuses.
In Confession I named it. In prayer I released it. The phone call home was awkward and holy. We are rebuilding, slowly.
Healing of relationships is a miracle of grace as real as any other. The parish gave me the space and the Word to begin.
