Father, forgive. Luke 23:34
The city of Coventry, where I lived for a number of years, received one of the most dreadful bombing raids in World War II. It happened on the night of 14th November 1940 and the devastation was extensive, including the ancient Cathedral. Someone visited those ruins the next day and picked up two charred beams
and formed them into a cross and scrawled the words, “Father, forgive”on the wall. That became the basis for Coventry’s centre for peace and reconciliation and reflects the loving heart of our Saviour who when men did their worst to Him said, “Father, forgive.” —Paul Young
Suffering to give us life, conquering through sacrifice,
And as they crucify prays: “Father, forgive.” —Graham Kendrick
