Shabbos Forgiveness

From Likutei Shoshanim MiDevarim Shonim at the end of Sefer Sefas Emes

Hu Rachum Yichaper Avon (Tehilim 78: 38) He is has mercy and atones sin.
Gematria, numerical value, of Shabbat, by the way of our Sages of blessed memory (Shabbat 118:2)
"kol shomer Shabbat mechalelo" (YIshayahu 56:6) All those who guard the Shabbat and its prohibitions.
Al tikrei mechalelo elah, machol lo. Do not just read prohibitions, rather, He forgives him.
vahavein, understand.
