It is easy to be consumed with hatred for someone, but it is hard to forgive. Why is that? When the Pope forgave his attempted assassin, he raised that question to everyone. What good does it do us to hold on to anger? We touched on this before when we read the article about whether or not we should forgive Osama bin Laden. Immaculée decided to forgive her family's murderers, not so that they may find peace, but so that she could find peace. If we hold on to hatred, how can we ever truly move passed it? Both Immaculée and the Pope's decision should make us open our eyes and see that if they can forgive people who so greatly wronged them, we should be able to forgive people in our own lives. They are great examples of how to live our lives as Catholics and human beings.
