FORGIVENESS is a CHOICE of the WILL | Fr. John Anthony Boughton, CFR | Episode #175

Fr. John Anthony Boughton, CFR, grew up down the road from the BeatiDudes studio in Dallas, Texas.  He graduated from the Virginia Military Institute and was commissioned into the US Naval Reserve. After his service, Fr. John Anthony worked in sales.

Fr. John Anthony had a conversion to the Catholic faith during a series of miracles and encounters in Medjugorje. He then joined the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal in 1996 and was ordained to the priesthood in 2005.

Fr. John Anthony provides The BeatiDudes with a reflection on forgiveness and tools for achieving deeper forgiveness.  Forgiveness is a choice of the will. It is not an emotion. It is not forgetting. It is a grace-filled act of the will that relies on God to be complete.

Fr. John Anthony suggests a 30-day forgiveness retreat using the following formula for praying over your agitations:  

“In the name of Jesus, I forgive _____ for ______, and I bless them.”

And for those playing along with BeatiDudes Bingo – this show is jam-packed with rarely used words, including betwixt, agita, and jackanape.
