Frederick Buechner Quotes About Sin

• Confesar tus pecados a Dios no es decirle [a Dios] nada que [Dios] no sepa ya. Sin embargo, hasta que no los confiesas, son el abismo que os separa. Cuando los confiesas, se convierten en el puente.

  Frederick Buechner

  Puentes, pecado, abismo

  Frederick Buechner (1973). "Wishful thinking: a theological ABC", Harper San Francisco

• De los Siete Pecados Capitales, la ira es posiblemente el más divertido. Lamerse las heridas, relamerse por agravios ya pasados, pasar la lengua por la perspectiva de amargos enfrentamientos aún por venir, saborear hasta el último bocado tanto el dolor que recibes como el que devuelves: en muchos sentidos, es un festín digno de un rey. El principal inconveniente es que lo que estás devorando eres tú mismo. El esqueleto del festín eres tú.

• Despair has been called the unforgivable sin-not presumably because God refuses to forgive it, but because it despairs of the possibility of being forgiven.

• What's prayer? It's shooting shafts into the dark. What mark they strike, if any, who's to say? It's reaching for a hand you cannot touch. The silence is so fathomless that prayers like plummets vanish into the sea. You beg. You whimper. You load God down with empty praise. You tell him sins that he already knows full well. You seek to change his changeless will. Yet Godric prays the way he breathes, for else his heart would wither in his breast. Prayer is the wind that fills his sail. Else drift with witless tides. And sometimes, by God's grace, a prayer is heard.

• If you talk about sin, you don't have to use the first person singular, but speak out of that part of yourself which knows what it means to become estranged from people you love. Speak in your own voice about things that you in your own life have in one way or another experienced.

  Mean, Speaks Out, Voice

• El pecado y la gracia, la ausencia y la presencia, la tragedia y la comedia, dividen el mundo entre ellos y allí donde se encuentran de frente, ocurre el Evangelio.
