Today’s reflection:
“What exactly are we talking about when we speak of repentance? First and most simply, to repent means to recognize the reality of personal sin in your life — and to turn away from it. It means putting sin out of your life and changing your life according to God’s Will, even when God’s Will doesn’t conform to your opinions.” —Fr. William Casey
As we approach Reconciliation Monday, we should be getting personal: working on acknowledging our own sins, taking ownership of our faults, and turning back toward God.
