Our Religion lessons have talked  about forgiveness.  Jesus wants us to turn our hearts around.  When we repent God forgives us.  Jesus wants us to always forgive just like God forgives us.  We are to share Jesus love and mercy with others, to not repay wrong with wrong but show grace and forgive those who wrong us.
