Pardoner

Pardoner

Karl Rahner

I have stood before you
On numerous occasions,
Knowing my transgression,
Guilty, fairly convicted.
You reach out mercifully,
Drawing my regret toward you
With a generous reception.
In that moment of pardon
The falseness in my life
Dissolves in your tenderness.

Today : I accept the divine pardon offered me.
