• While forgiveness must not be granted to those
  who do not seek it repentantly (if he repents,
  forgive himLuke 173), the one who has
  something against anyone may not continue to
  hold it against him in his heart. Before God, in
  prayer, he is to forgive him (i.e., he must tell
  God that he will hold it against him no longer).
  He may not brood on it. But this forgiving in
  prayer (in his own heart before God) does not
  preclude his responsibility to pursue the matter
  with the offender The one who has relieved his
  own mind and heart of the burden of the offense
  in prayer growing out of a truly forgiving
  attitude, will have little difficulty granting
  forgiveness to his brother when it is sought.
  And, in the meantime, he will avoid the
  destructive results of resentment.
