"I Forgave My Rapist Father and Heard His Confession"

Father Luis Alfredo Leon Armijos, 41, was conceived in rape when his mother was just 13 years old. Years later, Father Luis received a call from his father who had to go through a surgery. “He was scared and told me: I want you to hear my confession,” said Leon.

This remarkable story of grace and forgiveness shows how God can take tragedy and sin and turn it into something good and beautiful. It is also yet another testimony to the intrinsic value of every human life, whether that person is someone conceived in rape or is the rapist himself!
