LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

The poem INVICTUS written by William Ernest Henley, inspired Nelson Mandela over the decades spent at Robben Island Jail, he would also read it to his fellow prisoners as well.  Below is the poem read by Morgan Freeman.  As we send love and prayers of peace to Nelson Mandela, his family, and South Africa.  Knowing all is in accordance with the Great Will of God, and that life rests in God’s hands as well.

The video is wonderful and you can listen to Morgan Freeman read the poem and who doesn’t love that! Run time is less than 2 minutes…
