Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 13, 2025 is: contrite kun-TRYTE adjective Contrite is a formal adjective used to describe someone who feels regret for their bad behavior, or something, such as an apology, that shows such regret. // Although the mayor appeared contrite about the most recent scandal plaguing city hall, many constituents remained unpersuaded. See the entry > Examples: “At the restaurant, late into the meal, ‘Honey, Honey,' from the ‘Mamma Mia' soundtrack began to play, with [Amanda] Seyfried's 22-year-old voice issuing through the restaurant's speakers. The waitress came over, contrite. The song was just part of the usual play list. ‘Listen, I love having a stake in pop culture,' Seyfried reassured her. ‘It's really nice.'” — Alexis Soloski, The New York Times, 11 Mar. 2025 Did you know? Props to Elton John: sorry really does seem to be the hardest word. But saying it (in something other than a nonapology, of course) is an important part of being contrite—that is, feeling or showing sorrow and remorse for one's bad behavior. Contrite traces back to the Latin verb conterere, meaning “to pound to pieces,” “to crush, “to wear out or down,” or “to exhaust mentally or physically.” In Medieval Latin—the Latin used in Medieval times especially for religious or literary purposes—conterere came to mean “to crush in spirit with a sense of one's sin,” or “to render contrite.” Anglo-French speakers borrowed a form of the verb conterere and made it the adjective contrit, which was in turn adopted into English in the 1300s.

5.7.25 - Contrite Heart - Lorenzo Romero III by JLRV | Jesucristo La Roca Viva
Psa 51:17 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
In this episode Justin emphasizes the critical importance of repentance in the Christian faith, arguing that forgiveness from God is contingent upon genuine confession and turning away from sin. He explains that the gospel centers on Jesus Christ serving as a substitute for humanity's sins, offering forgiveness and reconciliation with God, but only if individuals humbly repent and "plead the blood" of Jesus. Justin stresses that unconfessed sin remains "on record" and that true repentance involves a heartfelt change, not just lip service, as God does not forgive without it. He warns against the false teaching that repentance is unnecessary, suggesting it gives people a misleading sense of security, and highlights that while forgiveness wipes the spiritual slate clean, natural consequences of sin may persist. Throughout, he encourages listeners to maintain a "current" relationship with God through confession and to hold others accountable for genuine repentance.
Everyone asks at some time, if God created everything who created God? These are fundamental questions that often get asked by children when they are young. Dr. Ross explains using the space time continuum to demonstrate that God, the triune Creator, must transcend the created universe.

Hello,Kindly listen to the teaching titled THE LORD DWELLS WITH THE CONTRITE (Isaiah 57:14-16) by Mrs. Harriet Nyapidi from the Evening Devotion on Thursday, 27th February 2025
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, God, You will not despise ( Psalm 51:17 ). A committed follower of Jesus clearly recognizes the sinful flesh wars against the spirit and the spirit wars against the flesh. Christ followers groan at the presence of indwelling sin. They lament with godly sorrow when they yield to the temptation brought on by the flesh. Such was the case this morning when Jay from Orlando called in to speak with Pastor Jay Dennis from City Central Church - Lakeland. As Christians, we all need trustworthy relationships in which we are free to confess our sins, experience forgiveness, acceptance, and Christ centered encouragement. https://www.wingmannation.com/ Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wkesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise (Psalm 51:17). Jesus is Lord!
1Have mercy on me,a O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. 2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! 3For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. 4Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. 5Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart. 7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice. 9Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. 10Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a rightb spirit within me. 11Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. 12Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. 13Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you. 14Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness. 15O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. 16For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. 17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. 18Do good to Zion in your good pleasure; build up the walls of Jerusalem; 19then will you delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on your altar.

The historical background for Psalm 51 thus is 2 Samuel 11-12. Psalm 51 is David's lament, where he cries out to God for deliverance from a life-threatening situation. The life-threatening situation is King David's guilt over the taking of Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah. Psalm 51 is a heartfelt cry to God from one who has committed heinous sins against God.

A reflection on Psalm 51 and Jeremiah 31 from Associate Pastor Max Diener.
What is a Contrite Heart? Implications for Us During this Lenten Season! In the act of confessing, we often recite the Act of Contrition, but what exactly does it mean to possess a contrite heart? While we associate it with feelings of remorse and regret, it goes beyond merely having a sorry or regretful heart. So, what precisely is a contrite heart? In today's first reading (not included within this media), scripture tells us of Jonah's reluctant preaching to the people of Nineveh—a city notorious for its dominance in the Middle East and its unsafe reputation for travelers due to its wickedness. Despite Jonah's initial reluctance, he warns the people that Nineveh has 40 days to change, setting a time frame for transformation. Forty Days to Repent In a humorous twist, despite Jonah's unwillingness and the people's initial resistance to his message, the city responds. The king, upon hearing the prophecy, issues a decree for all—people, cows, and lambs—to repent, requiring everyone to don sackcloth. This response goes beyond a mere obligation; it reflects a profound, heartrending transformation. As we explore this scripture, let's not overlook the subtle humor embedded within it. Contrition, at its core, signifies brokenness. A contrite heart is one that is both open and humble, broken in its vulnerability. Understand the profound implications of this during the Lenten Season through the insights shared in this Meditation Media. --------------------------------------------------- Image: The Repentance of Nineveh: English Artist, Engraver and Illustrator: John Martin: 1829
