That’s an instance we should always observe. When you consider within the teachings of Jesus, as I do, there it was. That’s it. A selfless act of grace, forgiveness from a grieving widow. It touched me deeply. It touches many, and if there’s something we should always take from this tragedy to hold ahead, it ought to be that, and never this.”
