"Father, forgive them. They know not what they do."

Today every blogger who visits this site will learn about one of OraPro's biggest weaknesses. OraPro recently learned that someone very close to her was attacked by two young men and seriously injured. Sitting at her computer, OraPro felt a deep anger well up inside her. Not very many times in her life had OraPro been so angry, felt so helpless.

Then OraPro remembered the words Christ spoke from the cross; "Father, forgive them. They know not what they do." OraPro's friend was helping the people who took advantage of him. He did nothing to them and was totally undeserving of their persecution. OraPro realized that although her virtuous friend had already forgiven those two men, she was still considering which torture method would be the most effective. Forgiving persons who hurt those she loves is a great weakness of OraPro. As she prayed for her friend's recovery, she also prayed for the grace to forgive his attackers. Pope Saint John Paul the Great forgave the man who shot him. Why is OraPro so weak? Why is it so difficult to forgive those men?

Please, bloggers, pray for OraPro's friend and pray that OraPro has the courage to forgive those who hurt him. This story is posted on StellaMatutina because this blog was created for the respect of life from conception to natural death. Those men did not respect the life of OraPro's friend. Please pray for their conversions as well.
