Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits -
who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life
from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion. - Psalm
103: 2-4
The Prodigal Son
~ Liz Lemon Swindle
“The two
sacraments of the Eucharist and Penance
are
very closely connected.
Because the Eucharist makes present
the redeeming sacrifice of
the cross, perpetuating it sacramentally,
it naturally gives rise to a continuous need for
conversion,
for a personal
response to the appeal made by Saint Paul
to the Christians of
Corinth (2 Cor 5:20) :
‘We
beseech you on behalf of Christ,
be
reconciled to God’.”
Pope Bl John Paul
