Even forgiveness, if weak and passive, is not true: fight is better. Forgive when you could bring legions of angels to the victory.

I will be asking for forgiveness [from God], but hopefully I won't have to be asking for much forgiveness.

I don't forgive people because I'm weak, I forgive them because I am strong enough to know people make mistakes.

Everything is ended if you forgive and forget.

Together with you, I would like once more to ask forgiveness of all the victims. The pain and the shame we feel must become an occasion for conversion: Never again! Never again can the Christian community allow itself to be infected by the idea that one culture is superior to others, or that it is legitimate to employ ways of coercing others.

I invite you not to build walls but bridges, to conquer evil with good, offence with forgiveness, to live in peace with everyone.
