Revenge

As a teenage altar boy Padre Pio was falsely accused of something he did not do.  Later a friend asked if he (Padre Pio) ever thought of revenge:

"On the contrary. I prayed for them and I am still praying for them. At times I did mention to God, 'My Lord, if it is necessary to give them a whipping or two to convert them, please do it, as long as their souls are saved in the end."
