“A spirit of forgiveness and an attitude of love and compassion
toward those who may have wronged us is the very essence of the gospel of Jesus
Christ. Each of us has need of this spirit. The whole world has need of it. The
Lord taught it. He exemplified it as none other has exemplified it. In the time
of his agony on the cross of Calvary, with vile and hateful accusers before
him, those who had brought him to this terrible crucifixion, he cried out, ‘Father,
forgive them; for they know not what they do.’ None of us is called on to
forgive so generously, but each of us is under a divinely spoken obligation to reach
out with pardon and mercy.” – President Gordon B. Hinckley
