This is the forgiveness that Christ taught. As Christians, we do not really practice it; this is why whenever it is practiced we marvel at it.
A remarkable story.
A remarkable woman.

Thank you. This act gives us hope. I do not know if I could do such a thing in the same position. Such capacity to love and forgive. Very inspiring.

“It’s not easy to forgive. To forgive is a gift, but I am Christian. I know that Jesus on the cross said, please forgive them. They don’t know what they do, what they have done.”

A young woman she adopted as a orphaned child, recently got married. One of Maggy’s proudest moments, came during the girl’s wedding day. The man who killed the young woman’s parents was there…

“She stood up, and went to him and said, ‘I can forgive you forever, because of our mom. She taught us to standup and to fight in dignity without violence.’”

Saints walk among us.I am so happy and proud that Christ placed these people amongst us…

The story sounds like that of Immaculee Ilibagiza.

It’s amazing that there is another woman out there who has been able to forgive what most would think is unforgivable. God bless them both!
