Hello,

I’m trying to write a paper regarding a saint who forgave. The audience is young people age 20-30. I want to write about a saint where young people could relate to in their lives and can encourage them to forgive. Do you have any recommendations?

thank you

Two come to mind: St. Gerard Majella (false accusations) and St. Margaret Costello (cruel treatment).

Tried as hard as I could and always ended in…Jesus Christ.
Everybody fled at his crucifixion and he never mentioned it to them all.
 
She isn’t a saint, but Corrie Ten Boom was a lady who was in a concentration camp and learned to forgive the Nazis who were over her.
 
St. Maximilian Kolbe is better than Corrie Ten Boom. Although she was a good woman. I once heard her speak.

Well, I’ve read her book and was really inspired by her. But I would think that she is a good example of forgiveness and that Kolbe is a better example of self-lessness and sacrifice.
 
Thank you all. I chose st. Maria, great saint and a story I’m pretty excited.

🙂
 
It sounds like you made a decision already. But I’ll add someone else. Blessed John Paul II forgave the guy who shot him.
 
Yes, I saw you chose St. Maria Goretti. Which i was about to recommend XD.
 
I was going to suggest the Blessed Virgin Mary. Look at all she had to forgive!!
