Sins choose us according to our weaknesses.
Right, the gospel according to Emily. Sin unto others as you’ve had sinned unto you.
It’s not your own sins that hold you, haunting the earth and wandering in limbo. It’s the crimes others done to you.
It is believed that original sin can only be cleansed by the waters of baptism. But it is the sin that follow that are not so easily washed away. And since forgiveness of trespasses is only granted to the truly penitent pure evil can never be erased.
I have been much feared and hated in my life. By my people, by yours. These marks mean I was a slave trader. It is my sin to live with. But in this house I have found kindness among the unkind.
I don’t regret one sin I’ve committed. It’s the one I’m about to commit that worries me.[to Father Bob]
