desertwoman Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) [img]http://www.tbpcontrol.co.uk/TWS/CoverImages_1_9/140/190/1401908977.jpg[/img] [u][/u]Left to Tell[u][/u] by Immaculee Ilibagiza This is the story of Immaculee and how she survived the genocide in Rwanda. She and six other females were in a bathroom for 3 months until help came. She talks about how she became closer with God and how she learned how to forgive. Here is an excerpt: "I was deep in prayer when the killers came to search the house a second time. It was past noon, and I'd been praying the rosary since dawn for God to give His love and forgiveness to all the sinners in the world. But try as I might, I couldn't bring myself to pray for the killers. That was a problem for me because I knew that God expected us to pray for [i][/i]everyone[i][/i], and more than anything, I wanted God on my side. As a compromise, I prayed the rosary multiple times, as intensely as I could, every day. Working through all those hail Marys and Our Fathers took 12 or 13 hours- and whenever I reached the part of the Lord's Prayer that calls us to "forgive those who trespass against us," I tried not to think of the killers, because I knew that I couldn't forgive them." Ilibagiza, Immaculee. "Struggling to Forgive." [u][/u]Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust[u][/u]. pg. 91. Hay House Inc., California.

CatherineM Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I just finished "Christology" by Gerald O'Collins, S.J., and am getting ready to start "Sacraments: A celebration of God's life" by Joseph Martos. It's for school, so I'm not sure if that counts. I don't have time to read much more than the newspaper except for my textbooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
