“Have you sinned? Go into the church and
wipe out your sin. As often as you might fall down in the marketplace, you pick yourself up again. So too, as often as you sin, repent your sin. Do not despair.”
~St. John Chrysostom
For Reflection:
These words remind us that growth in holiness requires perseverance and hope. How does the Sacrament of Penance offer both of these virtues?

PREPARING FOR FEBRUARY 10
LENT - ASH WEDNESDAY!!
1. CONVERSION & PENANCE
1.1 Working towards a conversion of heart, especially during this time. Memento homo...Remember! Despite this reminder we sometimes forget that without God we are nothing. Without God, all that remains of man's greatness is that little pile of dust, in a dish, at one side of the altar, on Ash Wednesday. It is what the Church marks us with on our forehead, as though with our own substance.
