I should do more research here but this is a close example:

I think his faith and his comfort with himself accounts for that optimism. Since he felt that everything happens for a reason, he never saw things darkly. After he was shot and we almost lost him, he lay on his hospital bed staring at the ceiling and praying. He told me that he realized he couldn’t pray just for himself, that it wouldn’t be right, and that he also had to pray for John Hinckley. Hinckley’s parents sent him a note and he wrote a nice one back to them.

They are speaking of course about Ronald Reagan.
