Everything discussed in these pages is part of a life confession. In my life, there was a time when I knew only about repentance and penance for several years, and only then did I experience the preciousness of continual new repentance. This is what I wrote in a letter in 1936 to my friend and collaborator. That year, her birthday motto was: "Who is a God like You, who forgives iniquity, who pardons sin and passes over the transgression!" (Micah 7:18). I wrote to her: For many reasons, we can celebrate and praise God, but no joy in the world is or can be greater than that of God's gift, which is the forgiveness of sins. This joy does not only resound loudly here on earth: "Praise the Lord, O my soul," but even today it echoes far in the heavens: There is joy for the sinner who repents. And when all songs and praises that speak of all the good things God has done for us here on earth cease, then another song will still resound above, the song of the Lamb who bore all our sins.
