“The Lord never tires of forgiving. It is we who tire of asking for forgiveness.”
— Pope Francis
Simplified Meaning:
When someone does something wrong, it’s important to say sorry and ask for forgiveness. The quote is saying that God is always ready to forgive people, no matter how many times they mess up. Imagine if you keep breaking your friend's toys and every time you say sorry, your friend forgives you without getting tired or angry. That’s how God is with forgiving. But often, the problem is that we get tired of admitting we did something wrong. Maybe we feel embarrassed, guilty, or ashamed, so we stop asking for forgiveness. For example, in a family, if a child touches something they shouldn’t and the parent always forgives them, the child might feel bad asking for forgiveness again and again. This quote encourages us to keep asking for forgiveness and not give up because forgiveness is always there for us. In real life, if you’ve made a mistake at work or hurt a friend’s feelings, don’t be afraid to say sorry. Remember that people who care about you will be ready to forgive you, just like God. It’s important to keep asking for forgiveness whenever you need it, rather than letting pride or guilt stop you.
