Forgiveness

As a man of faith with a good knowledge of history, Chaplain McDonald knew that the real path to lasting victory was through forgiveness and reconciliation. But it would be difficult, given the barbarism of Hitler and Nazi Germany. On his visit to the Liebfrauenkirche in Trier, Frederick found a scene that was poignant and telling.

I was particularly saddened by the full bodied crucifix which had fallen from the roof beam, the face of Christ turned to the sky visible through the mostly destroyed roof, as if continuing to speak to the Father, ‘They know not what they do’.
