Repent!

Repent is something we think of being yelled at us by some fire and brimstone preacher, but in reality it is a call of mercy and a reminder.  In the readings for Mass today God reminds us that it is never too late to repent and that we all need to repent continuously everyday of our lives.

None of us is so Holy that we can forget repentance.  We all get angry, we all say foolish things, and we all fail in a hundred different ways each day.  God understands this and only asks that we repent of our failings, turn back to Him, and try to not sin in the future.  He is so loving and He truly loves and understands us.

He wants us, he so wants us that no matter what we have done and how we have lived our lives up to this moment He desires us still and wants to give us His mercy, all we have to do is ask for it.  Repent, turn to Him and do our best to sin no more.

He also reminds us that no matter how righteously we have lived us to this moment, if we reject Him he gives us our freedom and allows us to walk away from Him.  If we reject Him, turn away from Him and do evil, we are lost.

Repent, believe in the Gospel on a daily basis and times a minute by minute basis.  He wants us and will welcome you home.
