5 Steps to Forgiveness: The How-To Guide to Letting Go, Healing, and Moving Forward

Find how to forgive freely and release the burden of past pains.

For the Christian, forgiveness is absolutely essential. Jesus said, “If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions” (Matthew 6:14-15). Jesus himself forgave unconditionally from the cross, and we are called to be like Christ and forgive generously and sincerely. The question is often how to forgive. Now, this series answers that central question.

Forgiveness is a gift given to us by God; it helps us let go of the past and move into a brighter future. Now, Humanitas Prize chairman Fr. Frank Desiderio helps you discover the power of forgiveness. You will discover a spirituality of forgiveness that is rooted in human nature and reaches to the divine for inner healing. In this lively series, you will learn the five steps to let go. By practicing them, you will be able to move beyond your past and look back with some peace. Fr. Desiderio also demonstrates how the Sacrament of Reconciliation can serve as a model to restore an estranged human relationship.

A future free of grudges, guilt, and anger can be yours when you commit to seeking God’s help in granting forgiveness. Fr. Desiderio’s wisdom and prayerful guidance will help you achieve freedom. You will find this series invaluable.
