“To do penance is to bewail the evil we have done, and to do no evil to bewail.”

-Pope St. Gregory I: Homilies on the Gospels (6th century)

It’s tough to admit that we’ve sinned, but admission and confession is the only path to healing and new hope. Take time to ponder the areas of your life in which you have sinned, or fallen short. Make the sacrament of reconciliation a priority during the Lenten season.
