How anyone could do such a thing was beyond comprehension for most of us. But what strained our comprehension even more was the reaction of love and forgivenessfo by family members of the slain victims. Forgiving such a heinous crime requires a deep and abiding faith, and was so morally and spiritually beautiful as to bring many of us to tears. Out of tragedies such as this, God works miracles, and the miracle here was how a young man hoping to bring strife and division to our country actually brought a show of love and unity. There will always be hate and haters among us, but love is stronger and more pervasive, and ultimately more effective in overcoming hate. We are reminded of Jesus’Jesus words on the cross: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34 NIV) And remember, it’s easy to forgive the little stuff; the real task is to forgive the seemingly unforgivable – Christopher Simon
