The Ravensbruck Prayer (author unknown but precious in my sight)
O Godde,
remember not only
the men and women of good will
but also those of evil will.
And in remembering the suffering
they inflicted upon us,
honour the fruits we have borne
thanks to this suffering
- our comradeship, our humility,
our compassion, our courage,
our generosity, the greatness of heart
that has grown out of all this;
and when they come to the judgement,
let all the fruits we have borne,
be their forgivesness.
