O Happy Fault!

The Jewish mystic Baal Shem had a curious way of praying to God. "Remember, Lord," he would say, "you need me just as much as I need you. If you did not exist, who would I pray to? If I did not exist, who would do the praying?"

It brought me so much joy to think that if I had not sinned God would have no occasion to be forgiving.

Anthony de Mello
