When Louis XII became king of France, he caused a list to be made of his persecutors and marked against each of their names a large black cross. When this became known, the enemies of the king fled. But the king, hearing of their fears, caused them to be recalled with the assurance of pardon and said that he had put a cross beside each name to remind them of the cross of Christ. He intended to follow the example of Him who prayed for His murderers, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."
