For, in truth, we shall see in Heaven for all eternity that though we
have sinned grievously in this life, we were never hurt in God’s love, nor were
we ever of less value in God’s sight. This falling is a test by which we shall
have a high and marvelous knowing of love in God forever. That love [of God] is
hard and marvelous that cannot and will not be broken for our trespasses. In
love mercy allows us to fail somewhat, and in failing we fall, and in falling
we die. Our failing is full of fear; our falling is marked by sin; our dying is
sorrowful. Yet in all this the sweet eye of pity never departs from us and the
working of mercy never ceases.
Saint Julian of Norwich
