Wash yourselves clean.

ABBA FATHER IS THE SOURCE OF EVERY MERCY AND COMFORT. HE SHOWS US A REMEDY FOR SIN IN FASTING, PRAYER AND ALMSGIVING. THE SEASON OF LENT IS THE BEST TIME TO MAKE THAT LIFE-CHANGING CONFESSION IN YOUR LIFE.

"Wash yourselves clean!  Put away your misdeeds from before my eyes; cease doing evil; learn to do good. Make justice your aim: redress the wronged, hear the orphan’s plea, defend the widow.

"Come now, let us set things right, says the Lord: Though your sins be like scarlet, they may become white as snow; Though they be ­crimson red, they may become white as wool. If you are willing, and obey, you shall eat the good things of the land; But if you refuse and resist, the sword shall ­consume you: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken!" (Isaiah 1: 10, 11 - 20).

Tuesday 15th March 2022, of the 2nd Week of Lent.

Our Retreat Master for this day of Lent is the Prophet Isaiah. The question is: What do we do about Sin in our life. The Bible is stark clear on this. "If we say that we have no sins, we are liars." But if we humble ourselves and come to God and confess our sins, God will embrace us with His mercy. (Cf 1 Peter 5: 6).

The Lord Jesus, in His wisdom and foreknowledge gave us the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The power of a good Reconciliation in the Season of Lent is phenomenal. For an indepth Examination of Conscience for Confession in the Season of Lent, click the link below:

"My priests should be the first to seek Me out in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. They should be the first to run to Me as soon as they experience the pangs of an uneasy conscience and the regret of their sinful weaknesses. The single greatest service My priests can offer one another is the readiness to hear each other’s confessions and to pronounce over each other the healing words of absolution. In this way, they carry out the example I gave you when, at the Last Supper, I washed the feet of My disciples. Frequent confession, weekly confession is, more than ever, necessary to My priests." (IN SINU JESU page, Thursday, July 31, 2008 Saint Ignatius of Loyola).
