St. John Gualbert
~Geraldine Genuino~
- John was ready to kill the man.
- The man fell to his knees and begged for him to spare his life for the name of Jesus crucified.
- John replied, "I can refuse nothing that is asked of me for the sake of Jesus Christ. I not only give you your life, but also my friendship forever. Pray for me that God may pardon me my sin."
- Later at a monastery while kneeling before the Cross, John was praying for pardon for his sins. Looking up at the cross, he saw Jesus bow His head, granting the pardon John had requested.
