"God Flip!"

It was the much in Magdalene that Jesus loved.

For, as Mark says, 

     "He was too much for them"

Like a woman who loves too much

like an ointment that costs too much

and is spilled too much, 

like a seventy times seven God

who forgives too much, 

like a seed that grows too much

and yields thirty,

   sixty

   a hundredfold.

     ~ John Shea, The Indiscriminate Host

When Christ said: "Forgive them for they know not what they do, ". He was speaking of an ignorance that excuses sin. Most of the time when we sin ~ we do know what we are doing, but we don't know how much God loves us ~ hence we are still innocent through ignorance.

         Karl Rahner, Prayers for a lifetime
