    I was just thinking that forgiving another for wronging you and the other wanting and receiveng the forgiveness is like a sacrament. An act bringing true reconcliation. Not just forgiving is vital for the soul, but the spark of admitting wrongdoing and actually receiving that grace. It should have such a healing effect
