There is no condition for forgiveness.

For love ... is the blood of life, the power of reunion in the separated.

Theology moves back and forth between two poles, the eternal truth of its foundations and the temporal situation in which the eternal truth must be received.
Paul Tillich
Image
Genuine forgiveness is participation, reunion overcoming the powers of estrangement. . . We cannot love unless we have accepted forgiveness, and the deeper our experience of forgiveness is, the greater is our love.

Paul Tillich
Image
The affirmation of one's essential being in spite of desires and anxieties creates joy.
Paul Tillich

I loved thee beautiful and kind, And plighted an eternal vow So altered are thy face and mind, t'were perjury to love thee now!
Paul Tillich
Image
Fear, as opposed to anxiety, has a definite object, which can be faced, analyzed, attacked, endured... anxiety has no object, or rather, in a paradoxical phrase, its object is the negation of every object.
Paul Tillich
Image
Grace strikes us when we are in great pain ....Sometimes at that moment a wave of light breaks into our darkness, and it is as though a voice were saying, 'You are accepted.'
Paul Tillich
Image
Wisdom loves the children of men, but she prefers those who come through foolishness to wisdom.
Paul Tillich
Image
One cannot be strong without love. For love is not an irrelevant emotion it is the blood of life.
Paul Tillich
Image
Nothing truly real is forgotten eternally, because everything real comes from eternity and goes to eternity.
Paul Tillich
Image
In the depth of the anxiety of having to die is the anxiety of being eternally forgotten.

If my tongue were trained to measures, I would sing a stirring song.
