<p class="subtitle_brown"><em>From the gospel of Luke (Luke 23, 34)</em></p>

<p class="quote">When they came to the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there. Then Jesus said,&nbsp;&ldquo;Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="subtitle_brown"><em>Meditation</em></p>

<p class="normal_text">Lord Jesus, the place of the deepest wound of your dignity and your innocence is, simultaneously, the place where you offer the most radical pardon. Only an extreme love can see in the absolute unfair sentence you received an act of unconscious, almost unaccountable, from those who expose you to such scandalous and painful form of death. They crucify you, as a criminal who must be punished exemplary.&nbsp; Tormenters of yesterday and today, from near and far the ones who held you to the cross so that you can slowly die in it, in pain. They are faces of all times and places the ones who watch you: faces who condemn, faces who mock, faces who ignore, faces who are compassioned, who weep&hellip; you forgive them all. May there will be someone who receives that forgiveness, recognize it and turns to you.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p class="subtitle_brown"><em>Prayer</em></p>

<p class="normal_text">Holy Father, United to the oblation of your Son Jesus I pray for the innocents who are wronged. I present you this prayer by the maternal hands of Mary who in Fatima shows your preference for the little ones and your desire for the comeback of the ones with no love.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Our Father...</p>
