Amazing Grace

The following words were found written in the clothing of a child executed at Ravensbruck concentration camp:
“O Lord, remember not only the men and women of good will, but also those of ill will.  But do not remember all of the suffering they have inflicted upon us.  Instead remember the fruits we have borne because of this suffering:  our fellowship, our loyalty to one another, our humility, our courage, our generosity, the greatness of heart that has grown from this trouble. When our persecutors come to be judged by you, let all of these fruits that we have borne be their forgiveness.”   
Wow.  Impressive.
