Anselm's answer to someone wondering if Jesus really had to die on the Cross:
"You have not yet fully reflected on what a heavy weight your sin is."
"My iniquities have gone over my head"; they surround me,
"and like a heavy burden" weigh me down (Ps 38:5).
Free me, unburden me, and do not let "the abyss" of them "close its mouth over me" (Ps 69:16).
another translation:
Anselm: "You have not as yet estimated the great burden of sin."
