“Solitude is the human condition, the universal vocation to be human.  It is the willingness, with love indwelling, to go to the heart of pain to find new life and share it with the world even though you may be separated from it physically.  It is from this commitment to be focused through the narrow gate of solitude that self-emptying love is out-poured, and the heart of the community, the heart of its pain, is transformed into the heart of joy.”

Maggie Ross: “Seasons of Life and Death - A Wilderness Memoir”

“I think the recurring problem of forgiveness is our effort to find a way around the danger of vulnerability. Is there a way to forgive and remain safe? In short, the answer is, ‘No.’ Forgiveness is a voluntary self-emptying that embraces the vulnerability entailed in that action. Enemies have a way of crucifying you. The disciple is not above his master. If they crucified Him, there is no promise they will not crucify you. Forgiveness is not a safe thing.

We want to be safe. When we see that another person is sorry for what they have done to us, we begin to think that they will now become safe. We fear forgiving those who show no sorrow or who have not clearly repented of their actions towards us. And we do well to fear it. That is a completely rational, even “hard-wired,” instinctive response. But that tells us what forgiveness actually entails and what it is that Christ asks of us.

Forgiveness in the Christian sense is properly an act of self-emptying. It is a voluntary act of foolishness in which we act in a manner contrary to the shame that has been cast upon us. Understood in this manner, forgiveness is of a piece with bearing the Cross itself. It is of paramount importance that the one act of general forgiveness offered by Christ is found in words spoken from the Cross. They could have been spoken from nowhere else.

There are a few things to note about the self-emptying of forgiveness. First and foremost, it can only be a voluntary offering. To force such an action upon someone would be toxic and harmful… And so, the ‘commandment’ of forgiveness should rightly be understood as an invitation to act in union with Christ who freely offered Himself on the Cross, ‘despising the shame’ (Heb. 12:2).

The teaching of the Orthodox spiritual fathers is that we should forgive everyone for everything. Only in this can we be ‘like our Father in heaven.’ But make no mistake: it is scary, hard, and without promise of safety or reward.”

~Fr. Stephen Freeman, The Danger and Shame of Forgiveness
