Prayer of forgiveness for ill feelings
and resentments
• Lord Jesus, I confess that I have held ill feelings and
resentments against people. I call upon you and ask you
to help me to forgive people, groups, institutions,
churches, governments, and myself. I ask you Father, in
the name of Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to
drop in my mind and bring to my remembrance the name
of anyone or anything, whose actions or words real or
imagined hurt me, or another person for which I hold or
have held ill feelings, resentments, hate, envy, malice,
vengeance, un-forgiveness, bitterness or grudges
against. Father, as you forgave me when I did not
deserve to be forgiven, so
likewise, I forgive others, whether they deserve it or not;
in your Holy Name, I pray - Amen

your head and you will
strike his heel,” wherein
the "he" refers to

The other man in the wall…
• On July 12, 1845, a letter appeared in a New York newspaper. The letter writer was describing his recent travels in Italy. He said that he had an amazing experience in the little town of San Giovanni when he visited the church of San Lorenzo. He was shown a niche covered with a sort of trapdoor in the wall of the church. Inside the niche was an upright human skeleton. The writer examined the skeleton and concluded that the victim had been walled in alive and suffocated. The writer supposed that the motive had been revenge. He guessed that the man had been tied securely and then walled in, brick by brick. The writer also guessed that the men involved were nobles (like Fortunato and Montresor)—no one else, he figured, could have gotten control of a church to perform the gruesome deed.
