Soul Food for Sundays & Spirituality

Mark and Julia were neighbours and childhood friends. They shared laughter, dreams and secrets, forming a bond that seemed unbreakable. However, one day, during an argument, Mark said hurtful words that deeply wounded Julia. From that moment, their friendship was shattered. Julia, consumed by the pain of his words, became filled with resentment and thoughts of revenge. They stopped speaking, avoided each other, and their once joyful interactions turned into cold, angry glances whenever they crossed paths.

One day, while attending Mass, Julia listened to a gospel passage that struck her heart:

“Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” (Luke 6:27)
These words unsettled her. How could I forgive him after what he has done to me? she wondered. Yet, deep inside, she knew that if she found the strength to forgive, she could finally heal.
