“Confession heals, confession justifies, confession grants pardon of sin, all hope consists in confession; in confession there is a chance for mercy.”

                          ~St. Isadore of Seville

For Reflection:

How have I experienced the benefit of Confession as a source of healing? Justification? Release from sin? To what extent does this encourage me to make more frequent use of this sacrament?

PREPARING FOR FEBRUARY 10
LENT – ASH WEDNESDAY!!
1. CONVERSION & PENANCE
1.1 Working towards a conversion of heart, especially during this time.
To turn our heart towards God, to be converted, means that we must be prepared to use all the means to live as He expects us to live.  We must be absolutely sincere with ourselves.  We must try not to serve two masters. We must love God with our whole heart and soul, and flee from any deliberate sin in our lives.  Each of us must do this whatever his personal circumstances may be as regards work, health, family, age and so on.
