Today’s Quote on Sin versus Repentance: Monday of the Twenty-Fifth Week in Ordinary Time (II) (19th September,
2016).
“Be ashamed when you sin, don't be ashamed when you repent [To repent
means to have a change of heart and mind. It is not simply a feeling of sorrow,
but a psycho/spiritual growth away from evil/death and a turning to God/life].
Sin is the wound, repentance is the medicine. Sin is followed by shame; repentance
is followed by boldness [Boldness means to beg God for undeserved mercy]. Satan
has overturned this order and given boldness to sin and shame to repentance.”
- Saint John Chrysostom.
