To become reconciled, letting go of other’s sin ! ? We are carrying incredible baggages individually as well and as a nation too ! Long passed wounds, hurts even thousand years old hostilities are flaring up here and there also! Jesus is right we have to let go each other’s faults, sins consciously ! The great year of the jubilee of mankind should come , when everybody forgoes their brothers’ debts and we could start anew with a clean slate! 
I don’t know when mankind will come to its senses, but I could start in my own life by freeing myself from yoke of anger, fear and sin ! To live life in the freedom, peace as God’s child and banish far away from my heart the negative, tormented feelings towards my fellow human beings ! May my example be the child with a shining glance, whom our Lord Jesus Christ placed in front of me , whose mood may also “cloud over” , but within moments the blessed sun will come out again and the pure light will shine , in which everything will sparkle again in its own beauty ! We were not given the spirit of anger , but that of joy and if somebody either willingly or unwillingly frustrates our design , then don’t let them to spoil our inner peace as well by diverting us from our goal! We should not let any dark thoughts, hatred, sin enter the innermost sanctuary of our hearts! No sullied thoughts should enter the sanctuary of your heart !
It is lent, let us reconcile whole heartedly with each other , lets live in peace , love because where there is love, mercy God is present !
Father Csaba 
translated by dr k.e.
Jesus said, "When you are praying, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 'Pray then in this way: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil one. For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
Matthew 6:7-15
