Forgive Us All

In praying, “Forgive us our trespasses,” 

we are asking forgiveness not only for ourselves 

but for everyone else as well. For there is no them; 

there is only us — of whom we are all a part.

Pride Has Ten Thousand Faces

Pride has ten thousand faces,

and every one of them is false.

Evil In Our Own Heart

We are naïve about evil

until we have recognized 

the depths of it in 

our own heart.

Our True Origin

Our true origin is not in time but in eternity,

through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our Understanding of Eternal Things

Our understanding of eternal things

gets flattened out in our time-bound perspective,

like trying to understand a three-dimensional world

from a two-dimensional point of view.

Life is But One Moment

Life is not a passing stream of moments.

It is but one moment.

This one.

The Gift of Repentance

It is through the gift of repentance

that God shows us the way to life.

How We See God

Repentance doesn’t change

how God sees us but

how we see God.
