Forgiveness is a choice. I never see my brother as he is, for that is
far beyond perception. What I see in him is merely what I wish to see,
because it stands for what I want to be the truth. It is to this alone
that I respond, however much I seem to be impelled by outside
happenings. I choose to see what I would look upon, and this I see, and
only this. My brother’s sinlessness shows me that I would look upon my
own. And I will see it, having chosen to behold my brother in its holy
light.

“What could restore Your memory to me except to see my brother’s
sinlessness? His holiness reminds me that he was created one with me and
like myself. In him I find my Self, and in Your Son I find the memory of
You as well.”
