Pastoral Thought of the Week
The Power of Repentance
As for the practical expression of love—I think that the greatest help and the greatest expression of love that we have to give to everyone is to sanctify our own vessel. This is why when someone repents, he becomes a sign of hope for the whole world. “There is joy in heaven over one sinner who repents” (Lk 15:7). You have seen how when a forest is destroyed in South America, oxygen is lost throughout the world. If one person repents, if one person receives the grace of God, he supplies the oxygen of life and hope to the whole world.
