“It’s a mind-blowing concept that the God who created the Universe might be looking for company, a real relationship with people, but the thing that keeps me on my knees is the difference between Grace and Karma…

“At the center of all religions” Bono tells his skeptical interviewer, “is the idea of Karma. You know, what you put out comes back to you: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, or in physics—in physical laws—every action is met by an equal or an opposite one.”

“And yet,” he says, “along comes this idea called Grace to upend all that. . . . Love interrupts, if you like, the consequences of your actions, which in my case is very good news indeed, because I’ve done a lot of stupid stuff.”

Unwilling to divulge the “stuff” in question, Bono admits “I’d be in big trouble if Karma was going to finally be my judge…It doesn’t excuse my mistakes, but I’m holding out for Grace. I’m holding out that Jesus took my sins onto the Cross, because I know who I am, and I hope I don’t have to depend on my own religiosity.” Keep reading…

  1. Our Father, which art in heaven,
    hallowed be thy name;
    thy kingdom come;
    thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.
    Give us this day our daily bread;
    and forgive us our trespasses
    as we forgive them who trespass against us;
    and lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.
    For thine is the kingdom
    and the power and the glory, for ever.
    Amen.
