Thank you for posting this story. Wonderful, yet painfully sad at the same time.
 
This is perhaps the most challenging story about forgiveness I’ve heard in a long time. Thank you for posting.
 
This was an incredibly moving and powerful story. Thank you for sharing it.
 
God is truly great, and His people’s souls magnify Him.

Thank you for sharing this story.
 
I really don’t say things like this too often, but that story was beautiful.
 
Thanks for posting this. This was one of the moving things I’ve ever read.
 
Wow. Just wow.

I’m reminded in this story of the many people who Jesus spoke to and helped, those who had also been abandoned much like these men.

This is about a cloistered monk in a Benedictine monastery in Oklahoma, who after praying for those on death row, began writing several of the worst of them, starting with a man whose crime was so horrendous, that this monk decided he needed a friend. This story is about God’s grace on a man whose crime was so bad that others shrank back from him.
