Heavenly Parent, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing. Luke 23:34
Like Gandhi bowing to the divine in his assassin, Jesus forgives his executioners. It's important for us to know that people need forgiveness, even those who crucify us and cause our suffering, the very ones we want to consider "our enemies."
Daily Prayer: Let me not turn anyone into an enemy today no matter how hurt or neglected I may feel.
— Ron Miller in Wisdom of the Carpenter
