Brothers and Sisters,

As we begin the Great Fast, permit me to be among the first to ask forgiveness of each of you. If I have offended in word or tone in my posts or in the content of any, I humbly ask of you to forgive me and pray to the Lord for me during this Holy Season. Allow me to prostrate myself before you.

I, in turn, freely forgive each and all for anything that burdens your conscience in relation to any interaction with me.

In Christ,

Bob

I, too, humbly ask forgiveness of any of my brothers and sisters here to whom to whom I have given offense in my postings, whether by my words or in my tone, and whether explicit or implied.

Too, I freely and gratefully forgive all my brothers and sisters for any offense that they believe may have been given to me or any words to which I appear to have taken offense and may God grant me the patience and understanding and humility not again to take such.

Many years,

Neil

Brothers and Sisters if I have offended you in my posts or done any other thing to upset you, please forgive me.

Please be assured of my forgiveness if, like our brothers have said above, you may have thought you offended me. Also, I offer my poor prayers to all for a good and Holy Lent. May God forgive us all.


Let us Begin the Fast with Joy!

As a Western Lutheran my fast does not begin until Wednesday, and regretably our liturgy does not include this beautiful "Forgiveness Sunday".

If my posts have created confusion, increased doubt, or diminished faith and its practice or brought any other offense, forgive me for the sake of the Cross and Passion of Christ our Lord.

To all my brothers and sisters on the Byzantine Forum:

I ask your forgiveness for any offences or sins that I have committed. I ask forgiveness for any posts that have been uncharitable or have lacked clarity. I ask forgiveness for my lack of prompt responses to any messages and for anything else I have done to offend you in any way.

Please pray for me as we enter this time of the Great and Holy Lent. I will pray for you.

Your brother in Christ,
Scott

I know that I have offended many, and beg pardon and forgiveness for my offenses, from those I know, and from those I do not know.

Please remember me in your prayers during this holy season of the Fast.

I do not post often, but I too would like to humbly beg forgiveness from my brothers and sisters in Christ, for anything I may have written or implied in the tone of my posts that caused offense, hurt feelings, or gave scandal.

Please be assured that I forgive each of you any perceived slight or offense.

Please pray for me and my family, that this Great Fast will be a spiritually fruitful one, and that we will glean from it the graces desired by God in His Infinite Wisdon.

God forgives! Likewise as I enter into my Lenten silence on the Forum I know I have offended many and ask forgiveness. Forgive me a sinner and pray for me.
