Pope Benedict XVIGod's love for his people is so great that it turns God against himself, his love against his justice.
About This Quote
The power of God’s love is so great that it turns God against himself, his love against his justice. The power of God’s love is so great that it turns the very justice of God against itself. He is always loving but he also always acts justly, and the two cannot exist together.
