    I remember now something I thought peculiar, many many years ago. A Benedictine priest said something really peculiar in a sermon, which chimes with part of what Fr Paul Nicholson says. Not speaking in context as it were, but it went something like this. But be careful to understand! You may need to hate your enemy before you come to love him!. Of course, the priest didn't mean hate but be honest with yourself, if you hate someone, be honest and confess your hatred for this person to God first. Then Jesus does the work. I have said this prayer to God. I absolutely hate and detest this person, but I want to heal and try to forgive and try to love them in your name. I tell you Fr Nicholson is 100 percent correct. Jesus does all the hard work. Praise be to God.

    Every time the pain, suffering or temptations to anger, despair, hatred recur lift them up to Christ immediately. This is where we error, we hit “replay” then the bottle, pill etc. “Lord, I lift up my pain. This temptation to anger. I unite it with your suffering on the cross. I choose mercy. I choose forgiveness.” Repeat that while the pain and temptation lasts. God may free you immediately or over time it loses its power over you.

    I often find myself exploding in anger, I have to work harder to control myself . Thank you father and GOD BLESS. I do have another issue with the Pope that he didn't address Biden and Pelosi why they support abortion when they claim to be devout catholic's and the bishops that made a decision to allow them to receive the host even if they support abortion at any stage of pregnancy and after birth. What is wrong with the pope and bishops, they are going against what the catholic church teaches.

    Forgiving doesn't mean you have to hug the person who continues double life, putting out shows to impress others but the true nature is all about taking advantages from good people. Greed and deception are in the blood of the person.

      I love and pray about what God is doing for you. I can relate, my parent was a damaged (PTSD) somewhat self-focused, easily manipulated person who married a third spouse and that spouse turned to be a psychopath who caused ruination for our whole family. This person strategically planned every living moment of their lift to manipulate others in order to destroy them and get what they want. We were that person's pawns. Had this person been a serial killer and killed all of us, that would have been MERCY in comparison to what they did. I get what people who deal with these narcissistic types have gone through. Please pray for our family too and for this person to come to God and repent. Thank you. God bless, heal and protect you.

    Thank you so much for this sermon! My mother, a Protestant, is also a narcissist. I am 60 yrs old this April & I still have nightmares about her. Still a constant question in myself that I’m so messed up because of her & how do I handle this. For so long I just got mad at even the smallest contact with her, & I couldn’t understand why she makes me so mad. It’s because she can’t love. I must forgive her. Every day. Every time. She’s mentally ill -& maybe even possessed from some of the things I’ve seen her do & say. Thank you Fr for this healing sermon. I can get righteously mad when she plays favorites so cruelly with my grandchildren where they can see how she treats them, & the list goes on & on. But I still must forgive her. We are both a work in progress… May God bless you!

    My Testimony: I am always a disciplinarian, but no matter how I discipline; my younger sis kept talking back! Years later, I heard she was receiving psychological counsel. When she again tried to very disrespectful to me; I intentionally did not even say anything as if I did not hear any rebuke and false accusations just for the sake of the SACRED HEART. But, for some reason, for the first time. she UNDERSTOOD what is disrespect! From that day, she was not shouting at me anymore. Alleluia! I praise and THANK Lord GOD. My sister is now my best friend. I forgive her many times as many as she opens her mouth.

    Marvelous. Genius. I have begged to know how to forgive. The hurt is real and pervasive and deep. This priest is effective. That says everything.

    I'm watching this again. I am asking Jesus to forgive those I feel I cannot forgive. In Scripture, Jesus said, "I will contend with those who contend with you." I have been repeating this over and over and working on releasing my anger but am still stuck on whether or not I have actually forgiven them. This is so difficult since what they did amounts to murder and deep betrayal. I wonder if they are asking Jesus for forgiveness for their sins? If I assume Jesus forgives them of their evil deeds, who am I to withhold forgiveness? I have forgiven many for abusing me my entire life in every way possible. But this last situation has me struggling since it ended with the untimely and unexpected death of my dear father. My grief and anger have persisted for many months. I need to release this from my soul. I will continue to ask Jesus to forgive them. I know this is an old video, but any feedback to my situation would be appreciated. God bless all of us struggling in this way.

    Thank you Father! Without giving the hurt that agonizes our heart, that makes us angry at “jerks”, through confession or in adoration, at the foot of Jesus’ Cross, we can not forgive anyone. We need to recognize that the task of forgiveness is way too big for we mere creatures to conquer alone. It is the power of God and our will, together, that forgiveness is achieved. And then we are free and in God’s Peace!

      Our Lady said at Medjugorie She understands we cannot forgive BUT if we would pray to the Sacred Heart of Her Son and Her Immaculate Heart for 15 MINUTES EVERY DAY we would be given the grace of forgiveness.
      Thank you Father for your wonderful talk. Needed by so many.

    Does anyone know if Fr Nicholson is still around? I have searched in vain on the internet. He is such an amazing & gifted by God Priest. Does anyone know anything?
    I have listened to this lecture video 5x already. I laughed, I cried & I learned so much. I wish there was more.
    I always keep all our Faithful & Loyal Priests & all Holy Clergy in my prayers.

    Thank you Fr Paul for that gem of a sermon on a topic universal in nature.
    The insights you gave were very valuable. There is always a need to forgive as the Lord has asked of us. But it is so difficult to forgive.
    Thanks to the many points you have given we will be able to forgive as in reality we stand to benefit most for ourselves by it.
    God Bless You Fr Paul and give you the grace and strength to continue in His Vineyard. Amen
