This is an unusual and touching scene where a mother who lost her son after a shooting in Brazil, meets his murderer.
After one year of his death, Maria Nice knew the murderer, Alisson had been arrested and she decided to visit him at the police station.
She was followed by TV cameras which captured the very touching and surprising moment when she said: “You are forgiven in the name of Jesus. I am a Christian, and I am forgiving you!”
Alisson was visibly stunned by her words and only tried to look away from her eyes. But she urged him to keep looking at her.
“I will be praying for you. And you will find the God that I serve.”
“I don’t hate you."
She then prayed for him before she left. “Lord be with Alisson wherever he is. Don’t leave him even a minute, Lord. Touch his soul as you have touched mine. Comfort his mother, Lord, who must be suffering as much as I am. I thank for all Lord, in the name of Jesus. Amen!”....culled
D spirit of 4giveness is so PRICELESS!!!!
ReplyDeleteBukola,go and sleep...aproko!
DeleteThere is no forgiveness for whoever murders a loved blood relative. If I were her,I'd invoke AMADIOHA to strike him dead... may d impact of the pain he has brought upon my family be turned around for the destruction of his generations unborn... for every emotional distress dat I've felt may its repercussion be placed upon his life... Dis wld hav bn my prayer point
DeleteAwww so touching. To b @ peace wit ur soul is better dan holding onto a grudge
DeleteGosh!
DeleteIt takes God's grace to reach this level of grace oo.
Thank God for inspiring stories like this...

ReplyDeleteShe s rily a strong wuman buh meeenh am nt sure I hv such strength oh
DeleteGod indeed lives! That's the power of God in the woman. Even though I can't measure her pain exactly, I can only imagine it. But one thing I know is, she's at peace in her mind now, forgiveness can give you that. I know that part. And may God always console her every time she remembers her murdered son. Amen.
ReplyDeleteAmen.
DeleteWowww! I believe time has healed the rage and pain she had and then she turned to the word of God which comforted her and healed her of her loss.....
ReplyDeleteThus, this display of calmness, prayer and forgiveness for the killer of her son.
Touching.

This brought tears to my eyes. Indeed, forgiveness is divine and priceless.
ReplyDeleteSame here, a tear dropped. I pray to have such forgiving spirit, its priceless.

ReplyDeleteHe looks so uncomfortable standing there. It takes a lot of guts and strength, the kinda inner strength that comes from deep within to forgive the way she did. In her shoes, I honestly don't think I can forgive the way she did. I pray I never find out for sure.

ReplyDeleteThis woman is really brave, the spirit of God was really in her. It takes a lot of courage to do this. May God continue to bless and console her.
ReplyDeleteOh dear. This woman has only put herself in a superior position that will give eternal guilt trip to any heart with a conscience. Forgiveness gives a superior closure that anger can never give u...it is indeed divine...absolute serenity. She's a wise woman. God bless her heart.
ReplyDeleteHeaven is a prepared place for prepared people. That is one of the prices u must pay everyday, if u want to make heaven.

ReplyDeleteForgiveness is letting go of the power you give to another. May she find comfort in her loss. Visit my blog www.justshantel.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThe Power of Jesus Christ Lord help mi to be more like u
ReplyDeleteWow, the power of forgiveness - Don't know how I would react if I were in her shoes
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteThis act of forgiveness is mutually beneficial.
Both the bereaved mother and the murderer feel better. More than any sermon he's heard, that singular act can change that boy's evil soul for good.
This was awesome......forgiving spirit!
ReplyDeleteTo err is human...to forgive is divine and priceless! God bless her!
ReplyDeleteWow!

DeleteChristianity Re-defined!!! God give me such heart!
ReplyDeleteMean DS blog is d sweetest ooooo. No going back to where am cumin from
ReplyDeleteShe is a great woman.
ReplyDeleteIT TAKES THE GRACE OF GOD TO FORGIVE BUT THAT GRACE IS AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE WHO REACHES OUT FOR IT. IN FORGIVINING WE ACTUALLY RELEASE OURSELVES TO LIVE WHOLLY AGAIN.
ReplyDeleteGood for her! This forgiven has also freed her soul from the bondage that hate and rage can keep one in. The forgiven of someone is less for the person being forgiven, and more for the forgiver's own spiritual and physical health. She is free!
