GRUDGE

Grudges come in all kinds of shapes 
and sizes - but what I look at is its weight.

How much does this grudge weigh?

If it’s over 50 pounds do I really want
to carry it on my back for a long time?

Do I realize how much energy grudges cost?

I know a son who is carrying a grudge agains
his dad for about three years now. That’s crazy.

I know three daughters who won’t forgive
their mom - and this has been for 11 years.

Being a priest and hearing these stories,
I say,  “Drop the stone - and feel nothing.”
