A Prayer of Forgiveness
.
...
“O Lord, remember not only the men and women of good will, but also those of ill will. But do not remember all the suffering they have inflicted on us; remember all the fruits we have brought, thanks to this suffering – our comradeship, our loyalty, our humility, our courage, our generosity, the greatness of heart which has grown out of all this, and when they come to judgment, let all the fruits which we have borne be their forgiveness.”
.
This prayer by an unknown prisoner in the concentration camp near Ravensbruck, Germany was left beside the body of a dead child.
