Michael once learned a powerful lesson in forgiveness after his grandmother was murdered. He spoke to Mother Teresa about the terrible incident and she insisted that he and his family forgive the killer. “(It is) not enough not to hate.” Mother Teresa told him, “Tell them to forgive this man from the heart and their pain will be lifted.”
The show will can be viewed at www.CatholicTV.com and is available on the site’s archives starting Tuesday night. All videos at the website are viewable in full-screen.
