Fr Joby George VC reflects on the Holy Spirit as the Spirit who unites and on unforgiveness as a root that divides families, relationships and communities. Drawing on Scripture and his own struggles with anger and forgiveness, he explains why human forgiveness becomes exhausted and why we need to receive the forgiveness of Jesus from the Cross until it overflows from us to others.
