I occasionally proofread articles for Pravmir.Com, a Russian Orthodox site that seeks to evangelize young people on behalf of the Orthodox Church.Â? It gives me a chance to hone my theology skills as well as my grammar ones while doing something to help the mission of the Church.

Today, I found an email from one of the webguru’s in my e-mail.Â? It was the story of a young woman who had an abortion in 1989.Â? In the next few years, she divorced, remarried, joined the church, and had children; but her soul still felt stained by her sin.Â? Finally during the Great Lent, she confessed to her priest, thinking that he would upbraid her and deny her communion.Â? Her priest’s response:

Go take communion.Â? Such wounds need to be healed.

Yeah… that is such an amazing show of grace.Â? If only more Christians were to show God’s grace like that…
