As we forgive those who trespass against us

I am really great at holding grudges, which is NOT good for someone pursuing the priesthood. This line always hits home when we pray it, and it was the one that leapt out at me today.

It also seems relevant because I just got back from a horribly contentious diocesan meeting, in which forgiveness seemed to be glaringly absent. And now of course I realize that it's much easier for me to point that out than to forgive the people at that meeting who publicly spoke in what sounded to me like nasty ugly ways. So I have my work cut out for me.
