Granting Pardon

Pardon, that you may be pardoned. In doing this, nothing is required of the body. It is the will that acts. You will experience no physical pain; you will have nothing less in your home.

Now in truth, my brothers and sisters, you see what an evil it is that those who have been commanded to love even their enemy do not pardon a penitent brother or sister.

-- Sermon 210, 10

Prayer. I pray you, my God, who are Truth, I pray you to forgive my sins.

-- Confessions 11, 3
