“Forgiveness is not something that can be bought; those to whom it is offered are bankrupts. It is capital advanced to them, which they are to repay with an interest of tears.”

                                                                                Father Ronald Knox

For Reflection: 

To what extent have I shown myself to be a “bankrupt?” How has God’s mercy been extended to me (think in concrete terms)? What do I think it means to “repay with an interest of tears?” Have I exhibited this disposition of heart? When, how, and why?
