Pope John Paul II's willing to forgive shows us what it is to be a true follower of Jesus. Through both Immaculeé and the Pope's example we can strive to act like them. I find them very similar because they have both forgiven people who have either attempted to kill them or successfully killed their family. Both visited the sinners and expressed their forgiveness for their previous actions.
I don't know how they faced those who tried to kill them or their family. I look up to both Immaculeé and the Pope because they have done the unthinkable. These two were able and/or live a normal life. They go/went on with their routine and accepted the past experiences. I feel that they were able to cointinue with their life because they came to terms with what happened, accepted it, forgave those involved and moved on. Although, I am sure that these people have thought about this everyday of their lives, they have decided to take the positive and pray for the well-being of that person, the greater good. Pope John Paul II and Immaculeé are extraordinary human beings who we should all aspire to be as Catholics.
