Learn something every day

I was listening to Archbishop Fulton Sheen's recording of the Voice from Calvary. One of the topics is Christ's words "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do."

I always liked these words and how they show the radical forgiveness of Jesus. But through all the years of hearing these words, I never related that He was also speaking to me. Sheen commented that it is only by our ignorance of what our sins do that we are able to be forgiven. If only we knew how grievous our sins truly are.

But it blew me away that I never realized how those words belong to me.
