In a martial law reflection, Fr. Benjamin Alforque recalled the torture he went through, even at the hands of a fellow-Ateneo alumnus. Fr. Ben lost his faith till one time he was drawn to the Bible. Opening it, there was Christ's message for him: "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) Later, Fr. Ben was able to give the Holy Eucharist to his torturers unconditionally.
Mediation has witnessed such forgiveness and transformation both sides.
