Forgiveness is vast — there really is no rational reason for it. Justice by itself asks not for forgiveness but for restitution. Forgiveness requires some great love, a love that beckons one to another horizon, another place, another relationship. Sometimes this call is clear, and sometimes it lurks in the dark, is muffled, and requires faith even to catch a faint echo of its presence.
— Matthew Fox, Sins of the Spirit, Blessings of the Flesh
