Forgive to be forgiven says pope

(ANSA) - Vatican City, March 1 - If people can't forgive others then how can God forgive them, Pope Francis said in a Mass at St Martha's guesthouse in the Vatican Tuesday.
    "If you are not able to forgive, how can God forgive you?" he asked the faithful.
    "He wants to forgive you, but He can't if you have a closed heart and mercy cannot enter," the pope said.
