Podcasts about Contrition

The Scripture readings are Micah 7:18-20; 1 Peter 5:6-11; and Luke 15:1-10.The parables of the Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin aren't about conversion, they are about repentance. Repentance isn't a thing of the past. Every day Jesus seeks us with joy, carries us home, and heaven celebrates our return.

Newman and conscience, the doctrine of the Ascension, Paul's priesthood and more on Called to Communion with Dr. David Anders.

We open the show on Oz Pearlman — the mentalist who's been showing up on every podcast and somehow keeps reading minds for a living. Adam just caught him on Modern Wisdom, where Pearlman walked the host through his exact internal thought process — what he picked, what he second-guessed, what he settled on — like he had a pipeline straight into the man's head. Adam now rearranges his schedule whenever Oz pops up on a screen. So consider this a formal invitation: Oz, come drink whiskey with us. Tell us our favorite bourbon. We'll pour the Glencairns.Speaking of — this week we're sipping High West Campfire. A blend of straight rye, straight bourbon, and blended malt scotch. Yes, scotch. Peat smoke gives way to orange zest, English toffee, toasted brioche, salted caramel, leather, dark chocolate. It works.Then Adam gives an update on baby Mary. New listeners — Adam's daughter was born very early with a heart condition and a long list of complications. She's been in the NICU since birth. This past weekend was her actual due date, and after a long string of holding-the-line W's, she's turned a meaningful corner. Off the paralytic. Better oxygen, blood pressure, heart rate. Swelling coming down. Still a long road — likely nine to twelve more months in the NICU. Adam and Lady Haylee are deeply grateful. Keep them in your prayers. Both of them.Quick note from Dave: Good Shepherd Sunday in Tulsa. The pastor handed out cards and asked every man in the pews to write down the name of a young man who'd make a good priest. A thousand men doing that work together. Tulsa's per-capita priest count is already top five in the country — and we still need more.Then we get into it. The King in the Tabernacle.If the Eucharist is just a symbol, the Catholic Church is a 2,000-year deception. Flannery O'Connor's line — to hell with it — is the right one. But we don't believe it's a symbol. We believe what Christ said. Body, blood, soul, and divinity. The continuation of the Incarnation, until the end of the age.David's been reading The Real Presence by St. Peter Julian Eymard (Cor Jesu Press). Eymard is the patron of Eucharistic adoration — one homily in him, gave it for a lifetime. And one chapter lays out a battle plan for how to actually spend a holy hour. Not just sit there. Spend it.The four ends of worship — ACTS: Adoration, Contrition, Thanksgiving, Supplication. Eymard breaks the hour into four fifteen-minute sections. First fifteen: adoration. You don't walk into the royal court making demands. You fall on your knees and salute the King. Second fifteen: thanksgiving — for yourself, your family, the world. Thank Him for instituting the Eucharist at all. (Most of us forget that one.) Third fifteen: reparation. Stand in the gap. For your sins, for the world's, especially for the sacrileges against the Eucharist itself. Fourth fifteen: petition. Now you can ask. Ask large graces. Ask for the triumph of His Church. By the time you get there, you're asking for the right things.We talk about the difference between knowing the Eucharist is Christ and acting like it. You don't accidentally get a six-pack at 40. You don't accidentally get holy, either. We're body-soul composites — what we do with our bodies forms our souls. That's why we genuflect. Dress for Mass. Kneel after Communion. St. Charbel had two modes: preparing to receive, or thanking God for having received. The bar he set is the right one.We close with Eymard's image of the guard of honor. Jesus has made Himself vulnerable in the host. Heart pierced. Defenseless. Waiting on His men to show up and adore Him. That's the work. Guard duty. Get to adoration. Change your life.Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDOz Pearlman the mentalist — and Adam's open invitation to come on the showBaby Mary's update: off the paralytic, turning a corner after months in the NICUWhy prayer for Lady Haylee matters as much as prayer for MaryGood Shepherd Sunday in Tulsa — a thousand men writing down names of future priestsWhy the Eucharist is the reason to be Catholic — and why "to hell with it" is the right answer if it's a symbolSt. Peter Julian Eymard, the patron of Eucharistic adoration, and his book The Real PresenceWhy the real presence is the continuation of the IncarnationThe actual battle plan for a holy hour: ACTS in fifteen-minute sectionsWhy thanksgiving in adoration is the most perfect act of loveReparation — standing in the gap for sacrileges against the EucharistWhy your petitions get sharper after you've adored, thanked, and made reparationKnowing the Eucharist is Christ vs. actually acting like itWhy you're not going to accidentally get holy any more than you're going to accidentally get a six-pack at 40Body-soul composites: how genuflection, posture, and dress shape the interior lifeSt. Charbel's two modes — preparing to receive Communion, or thanking God for having receivedLady Pamela stopping at every chapel she passed — and why that 60 seconds was worth more than Adam realizedDon't let the perfect be the enemy of the excellentThe guard of honor: Jesus exposing Himself in the host, depending on His men to defend and adore HimBourbon of the week: High West Campfire — the rare rye/bourbon/scotch blendREFERENCED IN THIS EPISODEBooks:The Real Presence by St. Peter Julian Eymard (Cor Jesu Press)Saints:St. Peter Julian EymardSt. CharbelMother Angelica (and her new shoes at adoration)People & previous guests:Joey Spencer — on Christ becoming the fruit hanging on a treeJeff Cavins — on talking to Jesus like He's actually thereFlannery O'Connor / Dorothy Day — "If it's a symbol, to hell with it"Oz Pearlman (mentalist, Modern Wisdom podcast)Lady Haylee MinihanLady Pamela NilesConcepts & references:The four ends of worship: Adoration, Contrition, Thanksgiving, Supplication (ACTS)The National Eucharistic CongressGood Shepherd SundayEucharistic adorationThe continuation of the IncarnationSubstance and accidents (Aristotelian-Thomistic metaphysics of the Eucharist)SPONSOR BLOCKSponsor: Select International Tours — selectinternationaltours.comWhen Adam and Dave decided to lead their first pilgrimage, the same name kept coming up: Select International Tours.

Navy SEALs debrief after every mission. No exceptions. Not to assign blame. But because a warrior who doesn't examine his performance will repeat his mistakes. And in that world, repeated mistakes get people killed.So here's the question: when was the last time you debriefed your soul?In this episode, we're going deep on one of the most powerful and most neglected weapons in the Catholic man's arsenal: the Daily Examen. Developed by St. Ignatius of Loyola, this 500-year-old prayer practice has forged saints, soldiers, fathers, and martyrs. And most Catholic men have never touched it.We break down all five movements: Presence, Gratitude, Review, Contrition, and Resolution. Not as a formula to memorize, but as a structured debrief of your interior life that actually produces results. We also clear up the misconceptions that cause most men to dismiss it or quit after a week. The Examen is the debrief. The debrief changes the operator. Seven days. Start today.3 Powerful Quotes from This Episode:

On Divine Mercy Sunday, Fr. Mattingly reflects on the difference between perfect and imperfect contrition, inviting us to encounter the profound depth of God's mercy.

* You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Mar22.pdf * In the conclusion of our study of the book of Hebrews, we saw the importance and call for the body of Christ to pray for one another. * As we enter our spring week of prayer and fasting, it is good to remind ourselves that we consider these weeks to be times when we are seeking true revival, or strengthening, in our individuals walks with God, and our collective service to Him. * The term "revival" refers to bringing something "back to life." There is the assumption that there was "life" previously. * Today, we will look at the importance of Contrition in your relation with God. Biblical Contrition is ... A humble and penitent attitude which comes as a result of being "broken" (pridefully) by your moral failure, or comprehension of your finiteness, in contrast to the holiness and eternality of God; knowing that He is your ultimate judge. * We will begin by reading five different Biblical illustrations: 2 Kings 22:8-20 (re: Josiah), Isaiah 6:1-8 (re: Isaiah), Daniel 9:1-19 (re: Daniel), and Luke 18:9-14 (re: the Tax Collector). Lord willing, we will then consider the consistent pattern that we see through these illustrations as we see them lived out in the life and prayer of David. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on March 22, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

Adam is away on vacation, but the show goes on! Today we revisit an interview with Fr. Stephen Schumacher on the topic of contrition.

Prayer can certainly seem overwhelming and overly complicated. However, prayer is simply a conversation with God and raising our minds to the things of Heaven. In this episode of On Mission, Chris Pierno, Sarah Scalfaro, and Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. share how simple prayer can be and how to grow more fruit from prayer.Prayer is the basis of our relationship with God and it's important to remember the basics. Remembering the basics keeps prayer as simple as a conversation between two friends, God and yourself. We can look to more formal prayers like the Our Father and Hail Mary as a basis for how our prayer can be, but there's no replacement from speaking from the heart and allowing our Lord to respond. We can use the acronym ACTS to help model our prayer: Adoration, Contrition, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. Related On Mission episodes:Maintain Prayer Routines During Summer VacationPrayerful ParenthoodYear of PrayerLectio Divina From the Ad Infinitum blog:The Fruit of PrayerMore posts about Prayer Year of Prayer ResourcesPrayer Resources Check out the main Saints and Feast Days websiteDownload the App on the App Store or Google Play Follow us:The Catholic Apostolate CenterThe Center's podcast websiteInstagramFacebookApple PodcastsSpotify On Mission is produced by the Catholic Apostolate Center.

Dan dives into the controversy surrounding Tina Peters, a 70-year-old woman serving a nine-year sentence for a voting systems breach. Governor Jared Polis is considering clemency, but Dan questions whether Peters will be inclined to show remorse, a key factor in the decision. Dan also discusses the potential motivations behind Polis's actions, including the impact on his legacy and the upcoming election. The conversation touches on the intersection of politics, law, and personal responsibility, raising questions about the role of politicians in shaping justice and the consequences of their decisions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

March 1 is the second Sunday in the season of Lent and we will continue our Cross Words sermon series, a series which focuses on different aspects of the cross. Pastor Jonker will preach on Romans 7:7-25

Tonight in Homily 6 Saint Isaac did not merely instruct us. He set fire before us. In the first six homilies he has laid the foundations of the spiritual life with uncompromising clarity. No romance. No shortcuts. No sentimentality. If you have no works, do not speak of virtues. If you have not sweat in the arena of repentance, do not theorize about purity. Virtue without bodily toil he calls premature fruit. Stillborn. And yet what he unfolds in these paragraphs is not severity alone. It is hope so luminous that it borders on holy intoxication. Affliction suffered for Christ, he says, is more precious than sacrifice. Tears are incense. Sighs during vigil are offerings more fragrant than any liturgical perfume. The righteous cry under the weight of their frailty, and heaven bends low. The angelic orders stand close at hand. They are not distant observers. They are partakers in the sufferings of the saints. What a vision. The struggler who feels alone in the cell, alone in illness, alone in interior battle, is surrounded. The angels strengthen. They encourage. They console. There is a communion not only with the saints of the earth but with the hosts of heaven who draw near to the one who cries out in humility. This is the first movement. Deep contrition. Tears. Vigil. Labor. The long work of purification. But Isaac does not leave us in mourning. He telescopes the whole journey. Rightly directed labors and humility make a man “a god upon the earth.” Faith and mercy speed him toward limpid purity. And then something changes. Fervor begins to burn. Contrition and fervor cannot dwell together indefinitely. Mourning gives way to fire. Wine has been given for gladness, he says, and fervor for the rejoicing of the soul. The word of God warms the understanding. The one inflamed by hope is ravished by meditations of the age to come. Isaac dares to speak of spiritual drunkenness. Not the stupor of the world, but intoxication with hope. The soul so seized by the promise of God that it becomes unconscious of affliction. Not because suffering disappears, but because the heart is fixed elsewhere. The gaze has shifted. The future age presses upon the present. The Beloved draws near. This is not fantasy. It comes, Isaac says, “in the very beginning of the way” for those who have labored long in purification and who walk with simplicity and faith. And here he gives us one of the most liberating images of the night. Those who hasten onward with hope do not examine the perils of the road. They do not stand calculating every gorge and precipice. They do not sit on the doorstep of their house, forever deliberating, forever preparing, forever fearing. They go. Only after crossing the sea do they look back and give thanks for dangers they never saw. God protected them from unseen obstacles. He led them over crags and through ravines while they were fixed on Him. Hope keeps the gaze steady. Rumination keeps the soul seated at the threshold. Isaac is not advocating recklessness. He is exposing the paralysis of excessive self-consciousness in the spiritual life. The one who constantly measures, analyzes, anticipates every fall, often never sets out. But the one who loves God, who girds his loins with simplicity, who meets the sea of afflictions without turning his back, finds the promised haven. This is the arc of the homily. From sweat to sweetness. From tears to intoxication. From contrition to fervor. From trembling to exultation. And all of it rests on hope. Hope that Christ Himself guards the path. Hope that angels stand near. Hope that affliction is not wasted. Hope that beyond the sea there is a haven already prepared. Isaac places before us not merely discipline, but joy. Not merely purification, but intimacy. Not merely endurance, but ravishment in the meditations of the age to come. The call tonight is clear. Do not speak of virtue. Live it. Do not fear affliction. Meet it. Do not sit on the threshold. Set out. Do not ruminate on precipices. Fix your gaze on Christ. And as we walk, we will discover that we are not walking alone. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:03:11 Fr. Charbel Abernethy: Page 177 bottom of the page 00:03:34 Fr.

Patrick fields heartfelt questions from listeners about Catholic teaching, from the fate of forgiven sins at the final judgment to the nuances of Mass intentions for the living. He shifts between clarifying the difference between perfect and imperfect contrition, unpacking scripture, and weaving in moments of humor and personal experience. Callers bring raw concerns and Patrick meets them with clear, practical wisdom, offering honest insight into the everyday reality of living out the Catholic faith. Mary Ann - Is it true that our sins will be brought up again in the general judgement? (00:31) Beth - Can Mass intentions be requested for the living? I want the Mass intention to be said for my parish priest. (05:02) Joseph (email) – Sitting at the end of the pew (09:51) Pete - How can a person be sorry if they stop drinking but are motivated by cirrhosis of the liver and not the fact that it is wrong? (12:57) Nicholas - About the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, some scripture readings say destined vs predestined. What does this mean? (22:25) Phil - I thought I was lying when I was saying the Act of Contrition. (33:33) Isaac - Can you explain how working for Catholic Answers was and what taking a step away from a comfortable career was like as a husband and father? (45:37)

Patrick steers lively conversations about faith, culture, and Catholic living, opening with reflections on religious freedom and the unique presence of a presidential message honoring the Immaculate Conception. He responds with candor to concerns about unreliable AI-generated information, offers practical guidance on distinguishing authentic homeschooling, and questions variations in liturgical practices, always bringing listeners back to Church tradition. Unexpected questions about friendship, morality, and family struggles challenge Patrick to give direct, compassionate advice with both gravity and warmth. David - Did you talk about the statement from the President on the Immaculate Conception? I think it is worth talking about regarding our religious freedom as Catholics. (00:39) Mary - I think Chat GPT can be wrong sometimes. Chat GPT even got the Pope's name wrong at one point. I am skeptical. (03:51) Shannon - I homeschooled for 12 years. We need to distinguish schooling at home with a public-school curriculum vs true homeschooling where parents have control over the curriculum. (06:48) Chris - I noticed at a Church I attend, they don't say 'The Mass is ended'. Also, the priest at Confession didn't make me say the Act of Contrition. (11:30) Bill (email) - I bow my head when “Jesus Christ” is said during Mass. Is this part of the rubrics or traditional or am I doing something that doesn’t belong? (20:47) Cathy - People bowing to the priest. I was taught that you should bow for the cross and not the priest. We also would bow when the priest holds up the Bible. What is your view? (23:43) Patrick in Monterey, CA - I thought no graven images were allowed in the Church? Doesn't the Bible prohibit graven images? (27:49) Archdiocese of Boston says, ‘ICE was here’ Nativity scene violates norms for sacred imagery (34:01) Shelly - My friend is keeping company with a married man. I know the married man's wife. Should I say anything? Is there anything I can do or read? (38:20) Kelly - Can I be a godmother for a baby whom the parents don't plan to baptize? How can I convince my brother and his wife to baptize their baby? (43:01)

Winter was coming, but were you prepared? Advent was coming, were you ready? Jesus is coming; are you prepared to meet him? Before bedtime, take three simple steps: Gratitude, Contrition, and Resolution.

Patrick opens the phones to questions about faith, baptism, and what truly defines the Catholic Church, moving from heartfelt concerns about re-baptism to passionate exchanges with skeptics like Rich, who challenges Jesus’s divinity and the origins of Catholic belief. He fields queries on confession and rituals, all while offering sharp insights, scriptural responses, and the occasional smile when listeners push back or disagree. Calls range from bewildered to bold, and Patrick doesn’t shy away from the tough stuff as he meets every topic, from indulgences to religious freedom, head on. Justin - I feel like Holy Spirit is calling me to be rebaptized. My pastor does not agree and won't do it. Do you have any thoughts? (00:34) Rich - I discovered that Jesus denounced Catholicism, so how could he be the founder? (09:08) John - Do we need to say the Act of Contrition before you get Absolution? (23:04) Dolores – Should we place limitations on the rights of the religious? Didn't Utah have to renounce polygamy before it became a state? (31:14) Patrick shares some emails in response to Rich’s call earlier in this hour Nick - I was baptized as a Ukrainian Catholic. I had the sacrament of Confirmation as an infant. How was this valid? (40:04) Doug - What is required to get a plenary indulgence? (42:41) Originally aired 10/30/2025

When we fall and fail, we must be broken and crushed in repentance to seek and enjoy mercy.
 When You Fall and Fail, Contrition Will Deliver You.

A Deep Dive into the Book of Zechariah: Understanding God's Message and Mercy Join us in this insightful evening study of the Book of Zechariah. We begin with a moment of worship by reading Psalm 1, preparing our hearts before diving into the first two chapters of Zechariah. This session provides historical context, explores the themes of God's anger towards past generations, His call for repentance, and the profound principle of returning to God. As we delve deeper into the prophetic visions given to Zechariah, we uncover the significance of God's promise to restore Jerusalem, the symbolism of various prophetic elements, and the broader eschatological implications of these prophecies. The study emphasizes the importance of contrition, the beauty of God's mercy, and the hopeful future He has planned for His people. Perfect for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Biblical prophecies and the character of God. 00:00 Introduction and Opening Remarks 00:38 Reading and Reflecting on Psalm 1 01:37 Opening Prayer 02:56 Introduction to the Book of Zechariah 04:33 Zechariah's Historical Context 06:07 The Lord's Message to Zechariah 07:28 The Importance of Returning to God 19:30 Contrition and Owning Our Mistakes 21:01 Martha Stewart and the Lesson of Ownership 23:59 The Call to Return to God 32:49 Zechariah's Prophetic Utterance 33:52 Zechariah's Reference in the Bible 35:09 Zechariah's Vision of the Horses 36:27 The Four Horsemen and Their Significance 38:15 Angelic Hosts and Their Roles 41:37 God's Zeal for Jerusalem 46:58 The Four Horns and the Craftsmen 52:39 Prophecy of the Measuring Line 01:00:06 God's Promise to Jerusalem

Confession and Contrition Ezra 9 Dr. Rich Schnieders Friendship Grace Brethren Church October 12, 2025

Jesus heals ten lepers but only one comes back to thank him.  An image of sin, their leprosy is cured when they are on the way to see "the priests."  Jesus appreciates the gratitude of the Samaritan who returned after being cured and finds fault with the other nine.  Constant gratitude is a way of loving our Lord and of assuring our own increase in saving faith. 

No one taught you to pray? Deacon Terry Timmons offers a simple, concrete path to a real conversation with God—and why it changes everything. Deacon Terry shares growing up Catholic, falling away, and rediscovering a personal relationship with the Lord through prayer—an encounter that led to his book No One Taught Me to Pray? …Well, Let's Fix That. He names the gap: many are taught prayers but not how to pray. Hear how an ACTS retreat sparked renewal; why silence and Eucharistic adoration matter; and how retreats and mentorship help teens, college students, and adults form a daily habit of prayer. We walk through the ACTS method (Adoration, Contrition, Thanksgiving, Supplication), the difference between knowing about God and knowing God, and how the Lord called him to the diaconate through others' encouragement.

Pastor Michael Kisaka challenges us to approach worship with full-hearted devotion, reminding us that God desires genuine, truth-filled responses rather than half-hearted routines.

Teacher: Dave BrownTHE SIX MOVEMENTS OF REPENTANCE1 - SIN RECOGNITIONIn the Christian life our primary task isn't to avoid sin, which is impossible anyway, but to recognize sin. The fact is that we're sinners. But there's an enormous amount of self-deception in sin. When this is combined with devil-deception, the task of recognition is compounded.— Eugene PetersonSin is the word we use to designate the perverseness of will by which we attempt being our own gods, or making for ourselves other gods. Sin isn't essentially a moral term, designating items of wrongdoing; it's a spiritual term, designating our God-avoidance and our god-pretensions.— Eugene Peterson2 - CONFESSION3 - CONTRITION“My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.”— Psalm 51:17Attrition is being sorry that we were caught.Contrition requires humility, sincerity, and a desire to change.4 - FORGIVENESS5 - CONSEQUENCESOur sins have unpleasant consequences for us and those around us.6 - ACTIONThe great thing is to prevent his doing anything. As long as he does not convert it into action, it does not matter how much he thinks about this new repentance. Let the little brute wallow in it. Let him write a book about it; that is often an excellent way of sterilizing the seeds which the Enemy plants in a human soul. Let him do anything but act. No amount of piety in his imagination and affections will harm us if we can keep it out of his will.— C.S. Lewis“From that time on Jesus began to preach, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.'”— Matthew 4:17Repenting of any vice means going in the opposite direction, to practice the virtues most directly opposed to it.— J.I. Packer

The beauty of the writings of the fathers and in particular the lived experiences of the monks as described in the Evergetinos brings to life the spiritual life in an unparalleled fashion. They show us that there is no part of the spiritual life that can be seen outside the context of our relationship with God. In other words, there is no spiritual practice or discipline, no spiritual fruit or experience that does not begin and end with God and his grace.  Contrition is love! It is rooted in the growing experience of loss that one has by turning away from God because of one's attachment to the things of this world or to one's own judgment. When contrition emerges within the human heart, when the  sword of sorrow that pierced through our Lord‘s heart allows us to taste its metal, and when tears begin to flow without measure, one does not distract oneself from the experience. To do so would be to turn away from God.  So often we want to control or manage, not only circumstances, but our experience of what is going on internally and in our relationship with God.  It is difficult for us to allow ourselves to be taken by the hand and guided by Christ along the path that leads to our sanctification and intimacy with him. Strangely enough, we often become the focus of our own spiritual life; how well we are doing things, the disciplines that we keep, the sins that we avoid, the regularity of our prayer. However, we are shown that God can bestow upon a soul the gift of contrition and tears in a moment of domestic work. God does this in order that we might have no illusion about where this gift comes from. Whenever we tie contrition to what it is that we are doing, we either take hold of it as if it were our own or we seek to distract ourselves from it. Often it is emotionally hard for us to linger long in such sorrow and humility. Yet the fathers show us that this gift is precious, not to be turned away from quickly, but rather fostered.  Such teaching becomes a stark reminder that our faith is rooted in a relationship with a God who has come to us to heal us; that humble sorrow and that flood of tears become the very means by which He lifts us up. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:10:54 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 254, 2nd paragraph of # 18 00:11:15 Adam Paige: Reacted to "515714551_18143336329396209_7085918453142515818_n.jpg" with ☦️ 00:15:36 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 254, 2nd paragraph of # 18 00:26:16 Una: So don't stop weaving the baskets? 00:31:18 Kathleen: God have mercy on our lack of awareness. 00:38:57 Anthony: When I try to pray the "right" way, my mind usually trips me up.  Prayer is easier when walking, not paying attention to "I have to do this right....oh no, bad thought, distraction.....I have to do this right.....pay attention,  why did you have that distraction....." etc. 00:40:17 Forrest Cavalier: Reacted to "When I try to pray t..." with

When reading the fathers, it is as if we are swimming in the living waters of their faith and love for God.  In this sense we are in a privileged position: we are able to catch a glimpse of what might otherwise be completely incomprehensible to us. Yet the warmth of the light of their faith is undeniable; for contrition is often understood and experienced as the coldest of realities, expressing only the poverty of our sin and the distance from God that it creates. When reading the fathers, however, we begin to see that contrition is love and rooted, most importantly, in a relationship of love with merciful God.  God has come among us and take our flesh upon himself and so there is nothing foreign to Him about our experience or the poverty of our sin. He has entered into it all, embracing it, carrying it, and experiencing every subtle impact that it has upon our hearts. Contrition and the tears that often flow because of it is part of God‘s providential care for us. There are many reasons why we might have a punitive vision of God and how he engages us. If we focus only on our sin or if we simply over analyze on an intellectual level who God is and the nature of sin then we are destined for despondency. A faith that is solely moralistic and legalistic can crush the spirit, sometimes permanently. Once we experienced true contrition, we must allow it to reveal the meaning and the purpose of our tears; or better yet, we must simply allow ourselves to experience the impact of this reality on our hearts and how it can open us up to an unparalleled experience of the love and mercy of God. One period of tears shed for love can preserve virtues that have been hard won over the course of years. These tears are shaped not only by emotion or sorrow but by the grace of God. --- Text of chat during the group:  00:15:15 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 253, # 12 00:32:45 Kate : If someone has had a very legalistic experience within the Church, does it take a leap of faith to make the shift to even believe in the love of God?  In other words, does one have to bow down in humility and accept the love of God as a matter of faith? 00:52:15 Myles Davidson: More than one Catholic exorcist have said that Nefarious is the best portrayal of demonic possession on film they've seen.

On the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, we reflect on St. Peter's love for Jesus.  Compatible with his weaknesses, Peter is a model of perseverance, closeness to Christ, and the love sorrow of contrition. https://comeawaybyyourselves.com

Contrition is love! To many this will seem to be an absurdity, but when we look not only to the writings of the fathers, but to the life of Christ himself something far more beautiful begins to emerge. Contrition, in order for it to be genuine and not to lead to despair, must be tied to a depth of love that does not allow for any other response from the heart than to weep. One of the perfect examples came tonight through the teaching of Abba Poimen. “On one occasion, as he was returning to Egypt, Abba Poimen saw a woman sitting on a tomb and weeping bitterly. He said to himself: ‘If all of the delights of the world were assembled in front of her, they could not comfort her soul, because she is mourning. So, also, should the monk always have contrition in his soul'”. This woman lost her beloved and no one and no thing in this world could prevent her from mourning his loss. For example, when a couple has been married for many years and, as Christ tells us, the two become one, the loss of this love is like the dying of part of oneself. The depth of the love is mirrored by the intensity of the experience of the loss. Similarly, a soul who not only understands that Christ is her Beloved, but has experienced it in the depths of her heart, and lives it on a daily basis, is going to experience the loss or betrayal of this love as something that pierces the heart.  Contrary to public opinion, love is not blind. In fact, just the opposite. Love, the more that the heart has been purified and freed of selfishness and pride, is going to see things with a perfect clarity such that the individual participates in the experience of the Other. The great example of this is Mary, the Mother of our Lord. It is prophesied by Simeon that her child was destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel and that a sort of sorrow would pierce through her heart as well. Mary was not an outside observer but through her humility and love participated radically in the ministry and suffering of her son. The death of the beloved, of Love, could not help but pierce her heart, transfixing it to her son's. Such should be our experience of contrition. The deeper our love for the Lord becomes the more we see of our poverty and of His immeasurable compassion, the more our hearts are pierced with sorrow when we turn away from Him. In this sense, nothing is small or inconsequential. We see how our hearts can betray us and betray Christ. This is part of the reality of allowing ourselves to be drawn into the mystery of the Cross; not only to allow ourselves to be stretched out in love for others, but to experience how our own betrayal and neglect adds to the poverty of a world darkened by sin.  Weep we must because love demands it. This we must understand literally as we see Christ himself weep at the tomb of his friend Lazarus and how shaken he is when he sees the multitude that are like sheep without a shepherd, abandoned, wounded and beyond recognition. May God have mercy on us, and may our faith be such that we allow love to pierce our hearts as Christ allowed it to pierce His own. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:13:36 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 261, # 4 00:29:59 Maureen Cunningham: Page ? 00:34:07 Myles Davidson: Replying to "Page ?" 252 #6 00:36:02 Anthony: In reading Archbishop Raya, The Face of God. He says in Byzantine Rite, forgiveness comes in giving praise to God, in a different way than Sacramental Confession. 00:49:59 Anthony: If it's not tied to faith in God, such superattentiveness will drive you batty trying to sort what thoughts are actually yours, how culpable you are, multiplying thought on thought. Faith has to cut it off and say No more! 00:53:38 Rebecca Thérèse: It seems that the boy chose to be hit with the bowling ball. If you warned him several times, it was selfish of him to obstruct you when it was your turn. He probably never thinks of this event at all. 00:56:09 Kate : Is there a certain fear of contrition in the sense that if we really saw the truth about our sins we wouldn't be able to bear it? 01:00:15 Anthony: St Gregory of Narek,  Lamentations, is the best book I've found to balance grief and hope.

A sermon by Todd Bennett on Psalm 51.

“Contrition is his very name!” This is how the authors describe a monk who not only is contrite of heart, but who also lives always in this state. What becomes clear in the writings and experience of the desert fathers is that contrition is the source of consolation. The capacity to see one's sin, though painful, is also the path to healing. It draws us to God and creates a thirst in our heart that only he can satisfy. We might wonder how we, living in the world, can maintain the same state. It is not only by humbly acknowledging our sins before God or remembering our mortality. This certainly contributes to fostering such blessed mourning. Yet what truly shapes the heart is the realization that our soul, which is of greater worth to us than the whole world, has been deadened by sins and lies dying before us. One contemporary elder said that God loves an individual soul more than the entire cosmos!  It is this vision of the beauty of the human soul and the depth of God‘s love that moves the heart the most to the sorrow that draws us back to the Beloved; that gives rise to the tears that become a source of true consolation. May God fill our hearts with such contrition and open our eyes to the depth of his love. --- Text of chat during the group:  00:13:21 Una: What page are we on in the Nun Christina translation? 00:14:09 Fr.

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Sam Marr are responding to a question about conditions to be born again. Is there more than one condition as some teach, to acquire eternal salvation? Are contrition of heart, repentance, or obedience included conditions? Will they contribute to or subtract from the ongoing

The award winning podcast returns for another episode packed with cheap thrills and cheap laughs! This week, Paul and Eli are dipping their toes into the murky waters of “Silverman's Platters” to review three strange musical charity shop discoveries. There is quite the variety ranging from cheesy Dutch Moog arrangements to soul sapping ballads sung by a soap opera loser! There is even time for a dash of post-punk novelty too. Which will be a “platter” and which will be a “splatter”? Only time will tell. There is also the opportunity to revisit an often neglected segment, “Tales From The Shop Floor” which promises the usual confounding stories with the usual dirty denouement. Whilst it's the same economy comedy as usual, there is a lot of emotional manipulation at play. Eli is forced into making more than his fair share of apologies and Paul is in full on gaslighting b*stard mode, which can never end well.

In today's Gospel Jesus saves the woman caught in adultery from a terrible fate.  We can imagine her joy, relief, and love after Jesus's intervention.  As sinners saved by Jesus, we are all in the same position.  Deep sorrow for sin precedes the great joy of forgiveness in Christ. https://comeawaybyyourselves.com

Patrick Madrid reads a letter from Lisa, a 58-year-old woman who’s been homeless for eight years and is struggling to find her way back to the Catholic Church. Her story is raw, heartbreaking, and full of desperation, but also full of hope. Lisa’s Story: A Struggle for Survival & Faith Lisa grew up Catholic but, in a desperate situation, ended up joining a Lutheran church because they offered her financial help. She always felt conflicted about it and never stopped believing in the Catholic faith. After 15 months, she left the Lutheran church, but now she’s worried: "is she still in good standing with the Catholic Church?" She’s alone, battling lupus, and moving from place to place in Los Angeles, listening to Relevant Radio as her lifeline to the faith.
