Sunday of Forgiveness

“Understand that you have within yourself, upon a small scale, a second universe: within you there is a sun, there is a moon, and there are also stars.”
~Origen, Homilies on Leviticus

I really like that quote. It seems appropriate for “Sunday of Forgiveness,” for if we are all able to appreciate the unique nature of our fellow humans and the reflection of Christ found therein, it is much easier to seek to forgive and to be forgiven, at least in my crazy mind. Perhaps, if we keep this idea in our mind in our dealings with each other, there will be much less reason to seek forgiveness from our fellow humans.

I’m a day late in asking for forgiveness of anyone I may have offended since this inception of this blog and all it’s numerous and sometimes humorous changes. I have some sort of upper respiratory “thing” going on again and I didn’t spend much time on the computer yesterday. I tried to type up some notes last night, and ended up deleting them all.

I think I’ll just keep it simple and say, “If I have offended you or sinned against you in any way, please forgive me.”

Lord have mercy on me, a sinner
