On May 13, 1981, Pope John Paul II was shot four times by a Turkish man, Mehmet Ali Agca, at St. Peter's Square, Vatican City, attempting to assassinate him publicly.
However, the Pope didn't die and the bullets were removed after an emergency surgery where he recovered.
In 1983, two years after the shooting, to the bewilderment and disbelief of the world, the Pope visited the prison cell of his would-be assassin, prayed for, and pardoned the man that almost succeeded in killing him.
In 2014, 33 years after he had shot the Pope, Agca visited the Vatican City (the same place he had committed his crime) and laid flowers on the Pope's tomb, who had died in 2005.
So, wouldn't you rather forgive? Have a historic week ahead.

But what is your opinion of this old news?
How can the dead pope forgive the one who once shot at him?
I don't believe in forgiveness given by the living. The present pope turns out to be a hypocrite I read today.
