•"When our notion of God is confined to the nightmarish enraged Parent so many pretend to love, it is difficult to imagine God's love as other than barely tolerant pardon for ourselves and apparent favoritism towards others. But when we meet the God and Father of Jesus Christ, God's love emerges as a kaleidoscope of wonderful, merry and different operations. And your sin, while real, proves not to be the most important or interesting thing about you. At least as important as being forgiven by God is having God explain you to yourself." (Spiritual Direction and the Care of Souls, by Gary Moon & David Benner, p.88)
