"My mercy does not want this, but justice demands it."

Now you see, NYer, it is this sort of theology which the East cannot accept. In effect this says God is bound by "Necessity". That's heresy from our pov. Actually, I'm a bit surprised that a Latin source would say such a thing.

Kosta, take a look at #58

I concur. The way it is worded, it does make God subject to "necessity." Furthermore, whether the author intended it so or not, it subjects God to the human concept of justice. It somehow posits that God's mercy would be unjust! Yet we know that, with God, "mercy triumphs over judgment."

Thus, tha author expresses a concept that is indeed alien to the Orthodox East.

Then you are denying the authenticity of these words by Christ, to a saint? Have either of you you read St. Faustina's diary?

This is a quote from her diary.
