Catholic parents whose son was killed by a suicide bomber in the 2016 Easter Sunday attack at Gulshan-i-Iqbal Park, Pakistan have told Lahore’s archbishop that they have forgiven the man that killed their child.
Speaking to Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), Archbishop Sebastian Shaw said: “After celebrating Holy Mass I went up to a married couple to give them my blessing.
“They told me that my homily on mercy and pardon had helped them greatly, since they had lost a son in the attack in the Gulshan-i-Iqbal Park on Easter Sunday and that they had forgiven the suicide bomber who blew himself up in that attack.”
