On April 6 of that year, the assassination of the Rwandan President ignited months of massacres targeting Tutsi tribe members across the country. To protect his daughter from rape and murder, Immaculée's father instructed her to seek refuge at a local pastor's house. There, she hid with seven other women in a cramped 3 x 4-foot bathroom for the next 91 days.
Amidst the genocide raging outside, Immaculée battled anger and resentment, which threatened to consume her mind, body, and spirit. It was in this desperate state that she turned to prayer, clutching a set of rosary beads her father had given her. Through prayer and faith, she found the strength to resist hate, even using this dark time to teach herself English using only a Bible and a dictionary.
Emerging from her hiding place after 91 days, Immaculée faced a harrowing reality—her entire family, except for one brother studying abroad, had been brutally murdered. She also discovered the massacre of nearly one million extended family members, friends, neighbors, and fellow Rwandans. Despite unimaginable suffering, Immaculée shocked the world by forgiving the man who had killed her mother and brother.
Immaculée Ilibagiza's story offers profound insights and actionable steps to strengthen emotional resilience, release burdens through forgiveness, and contribute to a greater shift in collective consciousness. To share Immaculée's message of healing and forgiveness, Sage and Tony Robbins are honored to present this powerful moment from a private event with their Platinum Partners in Mexico. Please enjoy!

My sister from Rwanda. Thank you for sharing your story. I am Rwandan living in Canada since 1997. I go back and forth to Rwanda through my philanthropy. Today Rwanda is beautiful, safe, clean, in fact I am going there in two weeks to do a student cultural exchange with 20 Canadians. Tony, please go and visit, I promise you will love it. Thank you for going my sister a voice to share her story. I love this!

This is so powerful. I sponsored a Rwandan Child, Alphonse Mbitsimundo, when I was 16, he had the same birthday as my younger sister, April 4, and that’s why I chose his profile off of the Compassion International table. He was a Tutsi. I always wondered what happened to him.

As a Christian, we are told to forgive! I find it easy! Just do the right thing! Forgive, no matter what!

A Beautiful Heart is Spoken Here. Mahalo, for the light of Aloha you shared this lovely morning.
-
Thank you for sharing your story. There is a reason that we survived the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. God. I hope to be like you one day.
-
I JUST read this book a few months ago- I cannot imagine. A true lesson here in loving and forgiveness if I ever heard one.
-
Allow me to use the only High praise that I know to praise God out of this podcast. HALLELUJAH HOSANNA TO THE LAMB OF GOD WHO WAS, IS & IS TO COME!!!

Dear Tony, Your voice, words, physiology always motivate me. Whenever I tired and need to feel fresh I simply watch you, listen you. Thanks Tony.

So sad what happened in Rwanda but the sad thing 2024 now with all the advances in technology etc what happened in Rwanda can happen again in fact it is happening in Gazza .RIP to all those precious souls. Thankyou for sharing your experience and your message to say it is powerful is an understatement. Thankyou Tony Robbins for this video powerful message.

Tony, You are a blessing to this world including me. Lots of love 😘❤️
-
Thank you Tony for putting this out. May God continue to Bless you and Immaculee. "Forgive them for they know not what they do." It seems that it takes effort to learn how to Love and Forgive. I heard somewhere that "We are in Sales and NOT in Management" when it comes to Faith in God.

One of the best books I've read in my life .

❤ Thank you Tony for shining the light on this. I only know of one candidate who promotes God in country and has been persecuted more than any other including by the media just like this beautiful lady describes. Again, thank you for sharing this message ❤

Amazing story. If we can all forgive at least one person in our lives, it will make a big difference.

GOD BLESS YOU EVERYBODY

Forgiveness doesn't mean you forget what they did , but it does mean you give yourself permission to move on.

This is the most powerful moving story I have ever heard & has gotten me to get down on my knees & work out the anger & areas of unforgiveness in my own heart. Thank you for telling your story & Tony for sharing this. I’m praying everyone who sees this will share & pray for all their enemies all over the world.❤
