Abstract

79
To ask for forgiveness and to concede it constitutes a fundamental characteristic of the New Covenant. Thus the Our Father is the most appropiate prayer for this. John Paul II has reminded us that one must ask for forgiveness, not just for one’s own sins, but also for the sins of Christians and of all men throughout the ages. This implies a transcendental consideration of time together with an adequate conception of the unity of mankind. History itself offers few arguments in favour of asking forgiveness. It is to Theology that one must look, in order for it to enlighten historical deeds.
