"If we really want to love we must learn how to forgive." Mother Teresa of Calcutta

"He who knows how to forgive prepares for himself many graces from God. As often as I look upon the cross, so often will I forgive with all my heart." St. Faustina Kowalska


"I for the love of Jesus forgive my murderer and I want him to be with me in paradise. May God forgive him, because I have already forgiven him." St. Maria Goretti

Forgiveness

Saint Maria Goretti is known as the Martyr for Purity, but another title, just as fitting, is the Flower of Pardon. What a beautiful example she is for all of us! She took Christ's example of pardoning His enemies as her own when she forgave her own murderer, may we follow in her footsteps. Forgiveness and pardon are virtues which we are all in need of. If we could forgive those who trespass against us readily and without compromise, like Saint Maria, this world would find what it has been looking for since it was created - peace.
