“Confession periodically renewed – the Confession of ‘devotion’ – has always accompanied the ascent to holiness in the Church.”

                ~Pope John Paul the Great

For Reflection:

How frequently do I make use of the Sacrament of Penance? What does this tell me about how seriously I take my call of holiness?

CONVERSION & PENANCE 1.1 Working towards a conversion of heart, especially during this time. Jesus is looking for a contrite heart within us, a heart that acknowledges its weakness and sins and is prepared to disencumber itself of them.  Then you will remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good... God wants from us a genuine sorrow for our sins which we will manifest, above all, by going to sacramental confession, and by doing small deeds of mortification and penance out of love.
