Theologia Germanica: God desires no revenge

Saturday, March 1, 2025
    Feast of David, Bishop of Menevia, Patron of Wales, c.601
Meditation:
    Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”
    —Luke 23:34 (NIV)
Quotation:
    God, in a man who is made “partaker of His nature,” desireth and taketh no revenge for all the wrong that is or can be done unto Him. This we see in Christ when He saith: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
    ... Theologia Germanica [1518], Anonymous, ascribed to Johannes de Francfordia, (1380?-1440) & Susanna Winkworth, tr., published anonymously by Martin Luther, ch. XXXIII (see the book)
