From the cross, Jesus cried out, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do” (Lk 23:34). It’s easy to marvel at Our Lord’s ability to forgive the cruelty of His persecutors. It’s quite another thing to imitate it. In this video, you encounter the powerful testimony of someone who was called upon to forgive those who murdered her entire family except one sibling. Immaculaee Ilibagiza shares how she hid in a tiny bathroom for three months while facing death without and terror within. Despite this extraordinary situation, she knew God wanted her to forgive and to pray. You will see how she realized the profound implications of what she was praying, “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us,” and how she began to experience the peace of Christ which the world cannot give; even when encountering the man who killed her family. Immaculee invites us to follow the example of Our Lord and forgive those who sin against us to share in the peace she was given.
