It is Lent. We prepaRE OURSELVES for the Lord Jesus Christ who knew that He will suffer pain, He will be brutalized, tortured, betrayed, and die for the salvation of our souls.
He asked us to forgive ourselves, and forgive others. Hw talks about forgiveness.
God has and will always give us unconditional love. All He asks of us is to ask for Gods love. One of the seven captial sins is the sin of pride. We are too proud to ask for forgiveness, and too harsh with others that we do not forgive.
Let us work on forgiveness. I ask for forgiveness from everyone that I have hurt, and I forgive those who have hurt me. The words we speak and write that casts aspertions on others does hurt.
To the hurting spouses who are abused by their partners and husbands, and the battered men hurt by their partners and wives, work on forgiveness.
Do not allow yourself to be a punching bag nor be emotionally, psychologically or economically controlled. Demand that the abuser obtain the appropriate psychological counselling. He will ask for forgiveness. Yes forgive but do not allow the abuse to continue in the cycle of violence.
Dear Lord , I offer to you such brutal men, insensitive, violent, and unrepentant.
May they obtain the grace to ask for forgiveness , to reform and do no harm.
We ask Saint Padre Pio to talk to the guardian angels of violent fathers and mothers who must be awakened on the harm they are doing.
Please intercede that they may stop the abuse. Amen

I agree with you on the healing power of forgiveness and the power of prayer.
I also agree that victims of violence should not let the abuse continue and should seek to stop such harmful acts by seeking legal and police help.
Prayers and counselling should hopefully change the abusers' hearts.
