"I forgot his sins"
There’s a lovely story of this woman who's supposed to be getting visions of God.
So, the Bishop sends for her and he says, “Listen, you're creating a great sensation. I suppose you realize that, being bishop of the diocese, it is up to me to decide whether those visions are true or false.”
She says, “Yes, your excellency.”
“And this is my responsibility and duty.”
“Yes, your excellency.”
“So, you're going to have to do what I tell you.”
“I will, your excellency.”
He says, “Now look, the next time God appears to you, or whoever it is that appears to you, you're going to put him to this test by which I’ll know whether he's really God or not.”
She says, “Very well, your excellency, what is the test?”
“The test is going to be this. You're going to say to God, please tell me the private and personal sins of the bishop.”
And then he says, “After God has revealed that to you, if he is God, then you come and tell me, and no one else, okay?”
And she said, “Very well, your excellency.”
After a month, she came back and the bishop said, “Did God appear to you again?”
She says, “I think so, your excellency.”
“Did you ask him that question?”
She said, “I certainly did.”
“And what did God say?”
God said, “Go tell the bishop I forgot his sins.”
