“The world is full of those who suffer unjustly and who through no fault of their own bear the ‘slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.  What should be our attitude to those who speak untruly of us, who malign our good names, who steal our reputations, and who sneer at our acts of kindness?  The answer is to be found in the first word from the Cross: forgive.  If there was ever anyone who had a right to protest against injustice it was He Who is Divine Justice; if ever there was anyone who was entitled to reproach to those who dug His hands and feet with steel, it was Our Lord on the Cross.”  Archbishop Fulton Sheen (The Rainbow of Sorrow)
