Saintly response to tragedy from Kia Scherr

Thank you for your prayers for Kia Scherr. She is responding to this tragedy in a very saintly manner... It is a deep blessing to watch her in this video, talking about Jesus' divine command to forgive.

The story: A Virginia woman whose husband and daughter were gunned down in last week's terror attacks in India says the attackers should be forgiven. (Kia Scherr, who didn't go on the trip, said at a news conference in Faber, Virginia, she is experiencing the "deepest grief and pain I have ever known." )

"We must send them our love, forgiveness and compassion," Kia Scherr told reporters Tuesday of the Mumbai attackers, nine of whom were killed by Indian forces. "As Jesus Christ said long ago, they know not what they do.

"They are in ignorance, and they are completely shrouded and clouded by fear, and we must show that love is possible and love overpowers fear. So that's my choice."
