Forgiveness

There should be no one in the whole world who has fallen into sin, no matter how far they have fallen, who will ever fail to find your forgiveness for the asking, if they will only look into your eyes. And if they do not ask forgiveness, you should ask them if they want it. And should they appear before you again a thousand times, you should love them more than you love me, so that you may draw them to God; you should always have pity on such people.
