Radical Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a hard thing, for anyone. It is difficult forgiving people for piety things such as gossiping about you or stealing the guy you like. To forgive someone who tried to kill you, or to forgive someone who genially wanted you to die seems impossible. Yet, incredible people such as Immaculee and Pope John Paul  II do forgive such people. Pope John Paul II forgave someone for trying to take his life. Someone wanted him gone forever and was willing to commit the ultimate sin to do it. Yet. Pope John Paul could look at him and tell him " I forgive you." Immaculee forgave people who killed her family. Forgiveness is such a difficult thing and these two people command such grace and pose. It takes tremendous amount of courage to face those who have wronged us and these two people are heroes in my eyes.
