In a church inside the Monastery of Santa Ana and San Jose in Cordoba, Spain, there is an ancient cross. It is the image of the Cross of Forgiveness that shows Jesus crucified with his right arm stripped of the Cross and down. They tell that one day a sinner went to confess to the priest under this cross. As usual, when a sinner was guilty of a SERIOUS crime, this priest acted very strictly. Not long later, this person fell back and after confessing their sins, the priest threatened: ”This is the last time I’ll forgive you.” Many months passed and that sinner went to kneel down at the priest’s feet under the cross and asked for forgiveness again. But on this occasion, the priest was clear and said, ”Don’t play with God, please. I can’t allow you to keep sinning” But strangely, when the priest rejected the sinner, a noise from the cross was suddenly heard. The right hand of Jesus unravelled and moved by that man’s repentance, the following words were heard: ”I am the one who shed the blood on this person, not you.” Since then, the right hand of Jesus remains in that position, for it continually invites man to ask and receive forgiveness.
