Forgiveness. If one saint comes to mind when I meditate on forgiveness it is Saint Maria Goretti. A young Italian woman who not only prayed for the man that attacked her but cared deeply for his soul and forgave him. After dying from the wounds of the attack she appeared to the man responsible for her death in a dream. She handed him a flower for each wound. When he held the flower it seemed to burn in his hands! He woke up and repented of his sins. You can listen to her whole story here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjuZJQdEcdg
I chose to portray Maria as holding the area where she was wounded with one hand and with the other hand, offering the viewer a flower. The flower is white for her purity and red for her martyrdom. She is offering you the opportunity to forgive as she forgave; as Christ himself forgives. Is there anyone in your life you need to forgive?
