The Prayer Before The Prayer Of Forgiveness By Desmond Tutu

This is both a poem and a meditation about the process we go through before we get to forgiveness. The poet expresses the struggle to forgive and brings attention to forgiveness as a process that requires grace. It is a soothing and heart-opening listen. This reading makes a beautiful reflection to use before or after your meditation or yoga practice.

I wanted to share this beautiful, touching piece with you written by Desmond Tutu and his daughter Mpho Tutu in their book called The Book Of Forgiveness. Whether you are ready to forgive or not sure yet, this poem starts your journey toward healing and inner peace from the struggle.
