Instructions

🧭 The helm (steering wheel) helps a boat 🚢 change direction and move forward. Just like a captain steers a boat, we can choose to steer our hearts towards love and forgiveness. When we forgive those who hurt us, we become better people.

  • Think of a situation or someone you need to forgive.
  • Take a paper helm and draw or write the initial of that person.
  • Turn the helm as a sign of choosing a new direction — one of forgiveness. As you do so, speak with God to help you forgive and fill your heart with peace. ❤️🕊️

🧭 It-Tmun jgħin lid-dgħajsa 🚢 tbiddel id-direzzjoni u timxi ’l quddiem. Bħalma kaptan imexxi dgħajsa, aħna wkoll nistgħu niggwidaw u mmexxu lill-qalbna lejn l-imħabba u l-maħfra. Meta naħfru lil min weġġagħna, nsiru persuni aħjar.

  • Aħseb f’xi ħadd li għandek bżonn taħfirlu.
  • Ħu tmun tal-karti u pinġi jew ikteb l-inizjali ta’ din il-persuna.
  • Dawwar it-tmun bħala sinjal li qed tagħżel direzzjoni ġdida—dik tal-maħfra. Waqt li tagħmel hekk itlob lil Alla biex jgħinek taħfer u jimla qalbek bil-paċi. ❤️🕊️
