Fr. Jack McArdle tells a story about God’s forgiveness. Imagine when you die and Jesus comes to
meet you and shows you a video of your entire life. On the video you see all the good things
you did. But there are also a
number of blanks on the tape. You
ask why there are such blanks on the tape of your life. Jesus tells you these were the times
when you sinned and asked for God’s mercy. When God forgives he completely blanks out our sins and does not
remember.
