The end of the first reading from today’s Office of Readings has been on my mind a lot today (Romans 5:20b-21):

“However where sin abounded grace overabounded, that as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through justice [‘dikaiosynes’] unto everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

As the psalm says: “A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.”
