A Real Life Example of What it Means to Be A Christian
Pope John Paul II is a man I deeply admire.&nbsp; He has taught me the power of forgiveness.
A deranged man named Agca tried to assassinate him in 1981. Following the shooting, Pope John Paul II asked people to &amp;#8220;pray for my brother (the assassin) &amp;#8230; whom I have sincerely forgiven.&amp;#8221;In 1983, he and Ağca met and spoke privately at the prison where Ağca was being held. The Pope was also in touch with Ağca&amp;#8217;s family over the years, meeting his mother in 1987 and his brother a decade later.
Imagine sincerely forgiving the man who tried to kill you.&nbsp; Imagine praying for him and his family every day for the rest of your life.&nbsp;
