“Let unifying love be your measure; abiding love your challenge; self-giving love your mission!” — Pope Benedict XVI

“I saw in him (who tried to kill me) a human being who can love and be loved.” Listen to this young man’s testimony. His words radiate so much hope, defying the horrors of persecution culminating in a direct attempt on his life. We can all learn a lot about love and forgiveness
