T. 26. IV. 1 – 3. Jesus: “In this world, forgiveness is the equivalent of Heaven’s justice. It translates the world of sin into a simple world, where justice can be reflected from beyond the gate, behind which total lack of limits lies.
Nothing in a state of boundless love could need forgiveness! And what is charity within the world, gives way to simple justice, past the gate that opens into Heaven. No one forgives unless he has once believed in ‘sin,’ and still believes that he has much to be forgiven. Forgiveness thus becomes the means by which he learns he has done nothing to forgive.
Forgiveness turns the world of sin into a world of glory, wonderful to see. Each flower shines in light, and every bird sings of the joy of Heaven. There is no sadness and there is no parting here, for everything is totally forgiven. And what has been forgiven must join, for nothing stands between to keep them separate and apart.
The holy place on which you stand is but the space that sin has left. And here you see the face of Christ arising in its place. Who could behold the face of Christ and not recall His Father as He really is? Who could still fear love, and stand upon the ground where sin has left a place for Heaven’s altar, to rise and tower far above the world and reach beyond the universe to touch the Heart of all creation?
