jmg said...

yeah, it's killing me too! ...and making me feel like i should already know :(

why do you want me to feel dumb when i'm in the middle of thesis writing?!? don't you realize this could cause a nervous breakdown???

ok, just kidding.

One of my favourite quotes regarding redemption comes from G. Bernanos "Journal of a Rural Priest", when the priest, after a long spiritual journey, has an epiphany:
"I have reconciliated with myself. To hate oneself is easier than one might believe. Grace is to forget. But if all pride would die in us, the greatest of graces would be merely to love oneself humbly, as you would love any of Jesuchrist's suffering members".

jmg said...

that's so true, eduardo.

starbuck said...

isn't that a whitney houston song?

scøüpe said...

okay, first, the actual quote says "absolution" not "redemption"; which is slightly different from the whole repentance angle.
second, did crawdaddy just attribute bob marley's heartfelt songwriting to whitney houston?

jmg said...

i think he was referring to "the greatest love of all" in response to eduardo's comment :)
