I’m utterly convinced that God is looking for Biblical ‘excuse’ to save people, not Biblical excuses to damn them.

As that great theologian, Moi, O.P. once wrote:

In nearly every consideration pertaining to God and his dealings with us, we cannot allow ourselves to forget that God really loves us, that He really wants the best for us in the best possible way, that He is most certainly not a celestial Scrooge looking for reasons to withhold graces from us but is rather a generous, an indulgent paymaster who will look through all the regulations as many times as necessary to find a way to give us all He can possibly give and then will dig into his own pocket to give us a little more.

Extremely well put.

Though difficult enough for some of us with different sorts of Daddys in our childhood . . . to wrap our trust around.

Sigh.
