Refusing to accept God's love because we're unworthy - of course we're unworthy! - is another golden calf.

It does not matter that we cannot fathom this mystery. The only real problem comes when we think that we have.

It might be a good idea if, like the White Queen, we practiced believing six impossible things every morning before breakfast, for we are called on to believe what to many people is impossible.
