Thinking about forgiveness on erev Yom Kippur

And due to my public school education (in the US public schools are the ones you got to go to for free) I keep thinking about this 15th century French poem. Jyllian is the only person I know besides myself who has read it, and we talked about it once. The refrain has been going through my head all day. "Mais priez Dieu que tous nous veuille absouldre."

Indeed.





Here it is in all of its 15th Century Frenchness: ( apologies to those who will have to stuff the bile back down their throats at the Christian content )
