Yesterday I shared with you the events of my day – that I had been in a courtroom while a friend of mine spoke to his son’s killer and forgave him and offered him a rosary. It was a draining day for me with a ten hour round trip drive. But it was so much more for my friend.
Friends, being there and witnessing that moment was one of the most gut-wrenching and also beautiful moments of my life. I want to share the actual video of the victim impact statement with you now. It’s 20 minutes long. Please watch the whole thing. But if you are short on time, skip to the 19:00 mark.
After we left the courthouse, we walked across the street to the cathedral church for San Antonio. I hate to divulge the private moments of another person in prayer but I have to tell you that my friend knelt before Our Lord in the tabernacle and hung his head and cried.
Pray for this dear man and his family and for the repose of his son. And pray for the felon.
And STAY CONFESSED.
By all means, please copy the link to the video and share with your friends.
