Forgiveness is the virtue that enables us not to allow past hurts to determine our decisions and actions in the here and now. Forgiveness opens up the space for creating together with the one forgiven a new future where we can "fall peacefully asleep". Giving and receiving forgiveness is a resurrection activity. This is how Jesus is known.
Forgiveness is part of the reality of risen life; it is the effect of death and resurrection. We should walk and act like a forgiven people.
