without repentance there can be no forgiveness

   It is not necessary that mankind despise that medium of exchange which they have called money, but rather that they learn its correct use as my Son taught it two thousand years ago.  For through the correct use of money mankind will understand that money is but a little part of the abundance of God.  It is a medium of exchange between nations and peoples, intended never to be manipulated but always to be expanded as a breaking of the loaf of God’s substance by the action of the flame of God-maturity among men, that the crumbs that fall from the Master’s table should be given to all as a part of the whole loaf of universal abundance….Money of itself would be of little value if men were an hungred and could find no bread, if they were in need of shelter and could find no home.  What is needed then by all is a correct understanding of life and its abundance….

Therefore in dividing the Word of righteousness men must understand that condemnation of any act of man must be tempered not only by justice and mercy but also by higher criticism of the divine Logos.  Men must love God above all things.  For in loving God first they will come to love all things, all men, all the adornments of nature and graces of life, both seen and unseen, as the manifestation of God; and they will be free of the desire to covet.  Hence wise is the man who does not judge his neighbor but understands the nature of service to his God, to his home, to his church and to his fellowmen.

……………………………………………………………….

   Without the fear of the Lord

There is no repentance,

And without repentance

There can be no forgiveness. 

Forgiveness flows;

But it must be invoked

By the humble of heart,

By the sincere who ask the Lord’s pardon

That they might undo their wrong

And redo their right.

When the apology becomes a ritual–

Dead and without works–

Then it is better to be silent

And to engage in living sacrifice

As service to the Law,

As testimony and as proof

That forgiveness is the justice

Of the Law's mercy.    

                          -Archeia Mary:  Pearls of Wisdom 18:44
