Captain Guy Gruters was captured and spent five years as a POW in the "Hanoi Hilton," hunger, isolation, torture, and the screams of fellow prisoners. He admitted he came to a hatred he'd never known, and at one point considered giving up entirely. What changed him was a decision to forgive his captors, at first as a bare act of the will, asking God for the grace, and eventually so completely that he could see them as beloved children of God. In that hell, he found peace, love, and joy. He later said the Christian has the advantage in any war, because he no longer fears death.
Father Wilson preached this on Father's Day, on the Gospel where Jesus says "Fear no one" and "You are worth more than many sparrows" (Matthew 10). His point: if Gruters could find that freedom there, then whatever holds the keys to your happiness right now has far less authority over you than it claims.
Who are the captors you need to forgive?
