I'm doing a reflection for a bible study that I go to this Thursday about All Saints Day on the readings. For the gospel I wanted to do a meditation on each of the Beatitudes (since they were the readings for that day) and a saint that exemplified each one. For example, for "Blessed are the clean of heart," I wanted to do a reflection on St. Maria Goretti, for "Blessed are the poor in spirit," St. Francis of Assisi, etc.... I got stuck on "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." For some reason I'm having problems thinking of a saint who had something significant to forgive. I was thinking possibly St. Maria Goretti, but I was going to use her in a different one. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks a lot!
