Senza misura

Enrico Parazzoli explains that the biblical instruction to forgive seventy times seven times signifies that Christian forgiveness is not an ethical achievement or a display of moral strength. Writing for VinoNuovo, Parazzoli notes that while Peter sought a limit to the duty of forgiveness, Jesus' response removes all calculation.

Parazzoli suggests that if forgiveness relied solely on willpower, it would likely result in resentment or frustration. Instead, he argues that the foundation of forgiveness is a person's relationship with Jesus Christ. According to Parazzoli, those who encounter a compassionate God draw from an inexhaustible source of love to forgive without measure.
