We forget that the only sin of which we have to repent is looking away from God’s Gaze, for this Gaze is our equipoise of conversion. In that illumination we cannot but realise that all of us sin all the time. Only Jesus the Christ was able to gaze with the totality of being, for Jesus was God gazing at God out of our humanity. It is in us that the Christ gazes at the Father through the eyes of our heart...
No one but Christ can mediate for us, and Christ’s mediation is not between us and the Father but within us looking on the Father, writing the Name I WILL BE on our hearts in our solitude from which community is born. Each of us has the task of mediating in community the Love that bridges the abyss of our falling from being.
