Christian quotations by Don Bosco: Forgiveness

I tell you, my friends, don't be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Aren't five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don't be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows. I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God; but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.

	Christian quotations by Don Bosco: Forgiveness

John Bosco photo Christian quotations by Don Bosco "For lesser faults, take a youngster’s light-mindedness into consideration. For instance, it is rare to find boys who never tell lies or who on occasion will not steal trifles or eatables. Christian revenge consists in forgiving those who offend us and praying for them. Always conduct yourself in this way and your life will be a very happy one."

"Forgive others everything; yourself, nothing."

"Always tend to think well of other people. Give them credit, at least, for their good intentions. Never throw back into their faces wrong already forgiven. Do good to all, harm to no one."

"Be quick to forgive – and do so wholeheartedly – whenever a pupil shows he is sorry. In this case forget everything. Never say: “You will pay for this,” to one who may have disobeyed, answered back, or lacked respect. That would be very un-Christian."
