“Forgive and remember”

Fr John on his blog Priestcraft writes:

Can we hand over our most painful memories, our worst violations, and our nastiest deeds to God, knowing that all this mess is held in the divine memory, not in accusation or for an accounting of guilt, but in grace and in love? Can we somehow come to hold our errors and sins, and those of others, not pushing them away from us in horror, pain, or embarrassment, but wrapping them in a Love which heals the very fabric of our memory?

… which I find a very profound and beautiful question.

(you go define the difficult word whatever way you need to to find the quote beautiful)

  • Hey Tim - Glad you liked the post. I look forward to exploring your interesting blog! So you are in Australia? I will be speaking at the "Free Priest Summit" in Melbourne at the end of September. I know that's not close to Sydney, but if you have reason to be Melbourne in Sept, let me know. Best, John

    Hey Fr John ! Thanks for stopping by. It would be lovely to meet you, so I'll try to add up my various excuses to go to Melbourne and see if I can excuse a trip in September.
