Letting ourselves be forgiven is one of the most difficult healings we will undertake. And one of the most fruitful. (79)

Simply touching a difficult memory with some slight willingness to heal begins to soften the holding and tension around it. (74)

There is nothing noble about suffering except the love and forgiveness with which we meet it. Many believe that if they are suffering they are closer to God, but I have met very few who could keep their heart open to their suffering enough for that to be true. (124)

[D]on’t cling to your self-righteous suffering, let it go. . . . Nothing is too good to be true, let yourself be forgiven. To the degree you insist that you must suffer, you insist on the suffering of others as well. (90)
