repentance,
conversion and forgiveness... |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
...Repentance is
complete only when compunction is accompanied by a turning back to God. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
...One who accepts their faults and begs
for forgiveness is enlightened. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
...'Spiritual unhappiness' is the first
step of conversion. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
...Conversion is the return from a life of
the flesh to a life of the Spirit. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
...Even small things
like a holy picture or a crucifix are sufficient to germinate, revive
and nourish our earnestness for conversion. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
...To get our brokenness healed, we must
first of all acknowledge our brokenness. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
...We have been given a longer life than,
say, St. Therèse of Lisieux, or Blessed Maria Gabriella so that we may
repent. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
...Even examination of
conscience has degraded to the state of a judge condemning a person
based on a set of laws. We should pay more attention to the
Spirit. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
...Compunction is like a painful but
beneficial 'spiritual injection'. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
...There is a fruitful
distress and a sterile distress. The agony of Christ in Gethsemane
is the most glorious expression of fruitful distress. |
