The mystery of forgiveness

"I believe with all my heart that the mystery of forgiveness is the entire Gospel.  When you 'get' forgiveness, you get it.  We use the phrase 'falling in love.' I think forgiveness is almost the same thing.  It is a mystery we fall into: the mystery is God.  God forgives all for being imperfect, broken, and poor.  When we know God, we meet  a lover, not a dictator. God is never found to be an abusive father or a tyrannical mother, but always a lover who  is more than we dared hope for.  How different than the 'account manager' that most  people seem to worship."  Fr Richard Rohr
