Forgiveness is more than absolution, it is more than having a debt forgiven. It is about being healed. And here is this amazing moment that Jesus empowers his disciples with his own power of forgiveness, to transmit it to others. If we knew how to use it, if we weren’t frightened of it, if we really understood what that power meant, we could change the world, provided we allow ourselves to be changed first.
