The two New Testament words that we translate as forgive, actually mean “to cancel” and “to let go.” Lent is specially a time when we celebrate God’s constantly renewed cancelation of everything that puts us in the wrong. And it is the season when we seek the Spirit’s help to do our own timely work of holy cancellation. Forgiving others, and letting go of resentment. Canceling our ‘subscriptions’ to ideas and authorities that the gospel shows to be false. Canceling those inner voices that distract us from the love of God. Join us for a quiet morning of reflection and prayer in which we will receive guidance for the holy ‘cancel culture’ we foster as disciples of Christ.
