Car kills three of her children-"I’m not going to hate him – it’s not who we are, and it’s not what our religion tell us."

The parents said in order to continue being “effective parents” to their “remaining three angels” they chose to forgive the driver of the car that killed their children.

“We have decided, in our hearts to forgive him – for the sake of our children and more so for Christ’s sake,” they said.

They said they were leaning on their faith in Jesus Christ “to help us through this difficult time”.

“Each day that passes is a day closer to the day we are reunited with our angels,” they said.

“We will look forward to this moment, not backwards at yesterday’s pain.”

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May their souls, and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God,
rest in peace.
Amen.

May we all learn a lesson about forgiveness from this mother.

 

[Kei]

Amen. It can be difficult to truly forgive in our deepest selves, but in Christ we can do these things. Thanks be to God.

I had read another article about this tragic accident and have been praying for the family. Didn’t know they belonged to the Maronite Catholic Church. An amazing witness of love, faith, courage and forgiveness. Keeping the parents in prayer and their other children too. .
