About this episode
Br. Lain Wilson discusses God's courtesy and its implications for understanding our failings and the nature of love.
God’s courtesy shows that we fail, but that we aren’t our failings; that we sin and do horrible things, but that we are not those things. God’s courtesy assures us that we are loved, loved for all of who we are, which is known fully and completely only by God. While remembering Julian of Norwich, Br. Lain Wilson reminds us that God's goodness allows for us both to see and practice a particular kind of optimism and forgiveness.
