make me an instrument of your peace
where there is hatred
let me sow love
where there is injury
pardon
where there is doubt
faith
where there is despair
hope
where there is darkness
light
and where there is sadness,
joy
grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console
to be understood as to understand
to be loved as to love.
for it is in giving that we receive
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned
Prayer of St. Francis

Does this apply to those who've done you serious injury, as well?
I am not that forgiving, I'm afraid.
I think this is about the little things in life. The things people say or do to one another, an injury to your feelings. But a bodily injury that causes pain and death is quit different. It is a mortal sin........
