Mariam remembered an ancient argument: thus keeping the memory fresh.
Rabbi Jesus told her, "Don't chew the cud of old hatreds."
Let it go. Perhaps you were unfairly treated. Perhaps the other didn't understand what you truly meant to say. It could be you made a mistake. Possibly the other was mistaken. Maybe you acted wrongly. It may be that the other treated you wrongly.
It doesn't matter. When we pray to the Father for forgiveness as we forgive others, let our forgiveness be total and generous.
It is only sensible. Perhaps our soul will be called tonight for our judgement. Why go before God unprepared through lack of forgiveness for events so very long ago.
