“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.

Repent & Have Your Sins Wiped AwayActs 3:19 "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out”Peter is preaching repentance in this verse. He is not the first to preach about repenting and turning back to the Lord. There were many prophets in the Old Testament who preached about repentance. The one that comes to my mind first is Jonah. He knew the power of repentance, and he was asked to go and preach this message to Ninevah. However, Jonah didn't want to preach this message to Ninevah because he didn't think they were worthy of God's mercy. He didn't want God to save them. He thought they were too far gone for God to save.Have you ever felt like this? Have you ever felt like you were too far gone for God to save? Maybe you have felt like someone else was too far gone for God to save. Jonah knew how great God was. He knew if they repented and turned back to the Lord that He would save them. Yet, he decided that they didn't deserve this. He decided they were terrible people and they deserved what they had coming to them, so he fled this calling. He tried to run from the Lord. As much as I would love to judge Jonah and say how wrong he is, I think we can all relate to him.I think we have all had times when someone has done something and we don't think they deserve forgiveness or mercy. We almost don't want them to say sorry because we don't want to have to forgive them. I think we have all also been in a place where we feel God is calling us to do something, and we don't want to do it, so we try to run from that calling. We might try to hide from that calling. We know on some level that we can't really hide from God, but on another level, we really don't want to do what we are feeling called to do, so we try to hide anyway.Hiding from God won't get us anywhere we want to be. When Jonah tried to run away from his calling and hide from the Lord, he was thrown overboard from the ship he was on, swallowed up by a huge fish, and stayed in the belly of that fish for three days before he was spit out onto shore. I don't think the same would happen to us, but as you can see, nothing good will happen, that is for sure. A better idea is to talk with the Lord. Explain to Him why you don't feel you can do what He is calling you to do, and then listen to what He tells you. God is smarter than we are. He sees everything, and we only see a small fraction of things. If he is calling us to do something, there is a very good reason, and who are we to judge it? Who are we to question it?Let me get back to the verse, “"Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out” There are three things this verse is pointing out to us. The first is to repent. What does this even mean? According to the Oxford language, Repent means to feel or express sincere regret or remorse about one's wrongdoing or sin. The word repentance in the Bible literally means “the act of changing one's mind.” True biblical repentance goes beyond remorse, regret, or feeling bad about one's sin. It involves more than merely turning away from sin. Eerdmans Bible Dictionary includes this definition of repentance: “In its fullest sense it is a term for a complete change of orientation involving a judgment upon the past and a deliberate redirection for the future.”As you can see, when Peter is talking about Repentance, he is not just talking about saying I'm sorry for my sin. He is talking about changing our minds. He is talking about realizing that what we did was wrong and then changing our behavior so we don't do it again. It doesn't do us any good if we apologize to God for our sin and then go back to doing the same thing. It also doesn't do any good if we say sorry, but we don't actually think we have done anything wrong.I feel a prompting from the Holy Spirit to take a quick moment to talk about what happens when we feel the Church has rules that we don't believe in. Maybe you don't agree with all of the Church's teachings. You do your best to follow most of their rules, but some you don't understand or don't agree with, so you ignore those. You don't bring them up in confession because you don't feel you are sinning, because you don't agree with that rule or that teaching. At my retreat in April, we had a speaker who was in this boat. She was a devout Catholic and followed all the rules and teachings. However, she did not agree with the teaching on contraceptives. She felt that the church had no right to tell her what she could do with her body.If you want to hear her talk, you can find it on her website, pattyschneier. It is called Prove it God… and He did. I put a link to it in the show notes. Click Here. I don't have time to recount her whole talk to you, although I really encourage you to listen because it was so good! Even if that is not the thing you don't agree with, her talk gives you a way to talk to God about the things you don't agree with and let him teach you. Patty was set in her ways and was convinced of her stance. However, over several days, or maybe weeks, God came in and gave her an understanding she couldn't ignore. He completely changed her life, her marriage and her family in just a short time once she was ready for Him to show her the truth.God will do this for you, too! If there are teachings you don't understand, bring them to the Lord. Ask Him to show you why, help you understand, and renew your mind. You will be surprised at How He works. You will be surprised by the way He responds to you. God doesn't want our empty promises to change. He doesn't want us to say what we think He wants to hear. He wants us to truly repent, and if we think we have no reason to repent, then bring that to Him and ask Him to show us where we need to repent. If you ask, He will answer.He will show you where in your life you need to repent, or what in your life needs to change. An amazing thing about God is that He will show you where you need to change, but He will do it in such a gentle and loving way. He doesn't usually show you all the places at once. He will begin change in one area, and as you grow in that area, He might show you change in another area. Also, He won't make you do all the work on your own. If you ask God to help you make the changes, He will. What just came to mind was one of the saints. The Lord told him that He needed to change, and he told the Lord he would change, just not yet. The Lord still used him powerfully when he was ready to change.Be honest with the Lord. He knows your heart. You can't hide anything from Him. If there are things you are struggling with, bring them to Him and ask for help, knowledge, or guidance. He will help you. You don't have to do this alone. He will be happy to help you and to guide you. He is not asking for perfection. God is just asking that you try to do your best. He has so much mercy. He is so patient and so forgiving. All He wants is for us to try and for us to invite Him into the struggle so He can help us.The second thing the verse is asking us to do is to turn back to the Lord. This can be hard if whatever we did was so bad that we think we don't deserve to turn back to the Lord. God is always waiting for us to turn back to Him. He is waiting for us to come back to Him, and He is waiting with open arms. There is nothing you can do that would prevent you from coming back to the Lord if you want to. If you are sorry for what you have done, He forgives you. It is that simple. It is not complicated with the Lord. Maybe in the Old Testament, it might have been a bit harder because there were all these rules about what you needed to sacrifice in order to be forgiven. That is not the case anymore.When Jesus died for our sins, He paid the ultimate sacrifice. He fulfilled all the requirements for sacrifice. We no longer have to do anything except be sorry, change our ways, and turn back to the Lord. Some might be wondering what “turn back to the Lord” means. Does that mean I have to instantly follow all the rules and the teachings of the church? I think my answer may vary from others, but what I feel the Lord has put on my heart is no. If you are far from the Lord, if you have been away from the Church for a long time, if you aren't sure what you believe, but you want to know more. I think it is ok to invite God in and then ask Him to lead you to where you need to be.Many of us think we need to be perfect to invite God in. Many of us feel we aren't ready to go to church each week. We aren't prepared to be all in, so we can't invite God in. We think we will just disappoint Him because we aren't ready to do everything yet. God knows your heart. He knows where you are at and He is very patient. Please don't wait until you are ready to be all in before you invite God in. He wants you to invite Him into the mess. He can help you grow. He can help you overcome all the things that are standing in the way of you being with Him. He can help you, but only if you invite Him in, only if you give Him permission to work in your life. God is a gentleman, and He will not come in where He is not invited.The last thing this verse talks about is that when you repent and turn back to God, your sins will be wiped out. Did you know that God does not remember your sins once you have repented of them? Hebrews 8:12, "For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.” God is merciful towards us, and He does not remember our sins. Isn't this amazing? I know you may not be able to forget all you have done, but God wipes them away.  He does not remember them. Wouldn't it be great to have your slate wiped clean? Wouldn't it be great to just start fresh?This is exactly what happens when you repent and turn back to the Lord. When you go to confession, or when you sit with the Lord and tell Him all you have done, and let Him know you are sorry for all the ways you have hurt Him. In the Catholic Church, after we confess our sins, we say an Act of Contrition, and there is one line that always gets me. Here is one version of the Act of Contrition, “O my God, I am sorry and repent with all my heart for all the wrong I have done and for the good I have failed to do, because by sinning I have offended you, who are all good and worthy to be loved above all things. I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid the occasions of sin. Through the merits of the Passion of our Savior Jesus Christ, Lord, have mercy.”The line that gets me every time is when it says, “but most of all because they offend you, my God, who are all good and deserving of all my love.” There is another version that says, “But most of all because they offend you, my God, whom I should love above all.” Every time I say that, I am reminded of how much love God has for me and how, when I sin, I am choosing something else above God. It is a pretty powerful reminder to me to choose God first. To put God first. That doesn't mean I always do, because I am human and I mess up a lot. But I love going to confession and saying the act of contrition to remind myself.Whether you go to confession with a priest or you take your sins directly to the Lord, He wants us to repent, He wants us to turn back to Him, and as soon as we do, He forgets our sins. He wipes the slate clean. It can be scary to go to confession. It can be scary to sit and think of the ways we have offended the Lord, especially if it has been awhile, or if we have never done it, and yet, once you do, you will feel this weight lifted off your shoulders. Wouldn't it be nice to have that stuff wiped clean? What are we waiting for?Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening. Lord, help us understand repentance more. Help us to see all the ways we are hurting you, and help us to change. Help us to have a renewal of our minds. Help us to turn back to you, Lord. Give us the strength to turn back even if we don't feel we are worthy. Help us to repent Lord.

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. Her biggest fear is that when her time is up, she won’t be “in right standing with the Church” when she meets Christ. Patrick’s Response: A Virtual Hug & A Roadmap Home You can hear the compassion in Patrick’s voice. He immediately reassures her: The Church wants you back. There’s no shame, no judgment... just open arms. Step 1: Make a Good Act of Contrition. If she can’t get to confession yet, she can pray this powerful prayer and trust in God’s mercy. Step 2: Use the Relevant Radio App. There’s a Confession Helper to guide her when she’s able to go. Step 3: Get Help Locally. Patrick is personally working to connect Lisa with Catholic people in her area who can help her get back to Mass and hopefully find stable housing. What About the Lutheran Church? Patrick acknowledges the kindness of the Lutheran pastor who helped Lisa. He encourages her to pray for him and those who assisted her, recognizing their generosity. He also reassures her: she wasn’t rejecting Catholicism; she was just trying to survive. Big Takeaways God’s mercy is bigger than our mistakes. Lisa’s story is proof that it’s never too late to come home. The Church must help the homeless. The Church is meant to be a refuge, especially for the most vulnerable. We need to take action. Lisa’s story isn’t unique: there are countless people struggling right now who need help from the Body of Christ. Pray for Lisa Patrick promised to follow up with Lisa and get her the help she needs. Let’s join in prayer for her and for all those who feel lost and abandoned. If you know someone who’s struggling, be the person who reminds them they’re loved.

Welcome to Episode #164 of Way of the Bible podcast. This is our fourth of eight episodes in our Twenty-First mini-series entitled, Sermon on the Mount Part 2. On today's episode we'll be hearing Jesus teaching his disciples how to pray. Now this is a big topic. Prayer.I have to admit, growing up as a Catholic I really didn't think I had a problem with prayer. Since my first communion and later Catechism classes I had a plethora of memorized prayers. Some for use in when in mass and other for use after confession. The in-mass prayers typically included a Hail Mary and an Our Father. The confessional prayers typically included an Act of Contrition an Apostles Creed and multiple Hail Mary's and Our Father's depending on the accuracy of my confession. I have to admit, I held back quite a lot. Eventually knowing I'd forgotten more than I remembered of my sinful past which hadn't been confessed, I realized I was too far gone for grace and accepted hell as my destiny. And that turned out to reemerge in my struggle to receive Christ at my spiritual rebirth by the Holy Spirt. I've shared this account before and will reshare this account on another episode but not right now.The skinny was I wrong about that. But in total honesty, that's how I felt at the soul level. I was unworthy of Jesus, so I had to find another way to God other than my Catholicism. Fortunately for me I married a Baptist and I discovered an entirely different kind of works based salvation than my former faith practices. “We don't drink, we don't smoke, we don't  dance, we don't chew, and we don't go with girls that do.” For me I felt right at home knowing I was breaking all these as well, but they didn't make me confess it so I didn't think about hell. I grew comfortable saying I believed in Jesus and if by chance after I died, I'd came to see him and/or Peter at the gate of heaven, I'd just deny ever remembering my sin. Believe me, I had gotten very good at forgetting sin as soon as I sinned it. No guilt or shame, that was my saving grace so I thought.It was in this new religion I discovered ad hoc prayers. Whatever rolled off my tongue in the moment. Little forethought. Uncomfortable of making a mistake at first, I soon mastered the craft of just talking at God in a measured tone.After a radical salvation by the Holy Spirit my prayer life changed to a more scripture-based content from passages I'd been memorizing. This lasted a good long time before I was awakened out of my prayer slumber. Up to this awakening I became a Methodist, then a none, then a charismatic, before finally settling in a non-denominational evangelical church where I got radically saved in the second service I attended. Once born again, I had questions about talking with God. Then I heard a pastor from the pulpit say his greatest struggle in ministry was his prayer life. That rocked me, how was that possible. I started to do some research and discovered prayer was one of the most written about topics out there. No one seemed to have a handle on it. Everyone had their own take, I guessed to sell more books. I certainly was struggling but I wasn't fully committed like a pastor. I went to seminary and got an MDIV and found no adequate answer there. I had several seminary professors confess struggling with prayer. This seemed to be shear madness. I limped along for over 25 years until last year when I discovered the secret of prayer in the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius. Others have four the same discovery in an area called Lectio Devina. In short, they both emphasize spiritual meditation and contemplation. Learning by doing that special emphasis has been a game changer. And why do I share all that before getting to today's lesson? Because, had I known then what I know now, I would have known the value of Jesus' teaching on prayer he gave to his disciples. Jesus in a very compact less

I just want to take a couple of minutes to think about ways in which to improve japa. I talked at the beginning of the class about desperation, and when we feel ourselves dependent on Kṛṣṇa and helpless, there could be a feeling of desperation in which we call out. And we have the example of Advaita Ācārya. Then there's room in devotional service for ambition. Everyone, being a living entity and not a dead stone, has some aspiration. In the Nectar of Devotion, Prabhupāda mentions how, when we have a specific ambition for serving Kṛṣṇa, and we're praying hard for it—that "I want to serve you in this way"—this is one of the perfections of devotional service. So, can you think of ways in which you might pray with ambition? Could you look the word up, please? Can you think of an example of someone who prayed with ambition? You know, the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra is the ultimate prayer, so when we're chanting, we can also with our heart be asking Kṛṣṇa, "Please empower me in this way or that."

Fr. Michael Copenhagen is a Catholic husband, father, and a priest at St. Nicholas the Wonderworker Melkite Catholic Church in Gates, New York. He holds a Bachelors of Sacred Theology from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome.   In Today's Show I am looking for work and they are asking me to work on Sabbath day. I know Sabbath Day is Sunday, but can I move it to another day? Or how do I keep the Sabbath Day holy even if I have to work? Historically, it was permitted for infants to receive communion in some Eastern churches. Is that still the case? Why does that differ from the Roman churches? What's the difference between veneration and worship? What verses can you use to explain this? How would I spot a worshiper from the venerator? Would it be considered unequally yoked if a Christian would be married to a Catholic?  Is the marriage only valid if it takes place in the Catholic church? What is Father's opinion regarding imprecatory prayers? I've heard that according to the Catholic Church, people of all beliefs can go to heaven if they live in accordance with God's will, and that the Church teaches that salvation is for everyone and not just for Catholics. If this is the case, why do Catholics have to go to confession while non-Catholics don't, if both can end up in the same place? Also don't Catholics say an Act of Contrition before Communion? Wouldn't that be effective enough? I'm trying to get baptized as a teenager. Is it possible to do it at home? I recently bought a Christian standard Bible-Holman edition not realizing it was not a Catholic Bible. I am a practicing Catholic and I would like to start reading the Bible more. This Bible is easy to read and I don't notice any differences in the words when I compare it to the Catholic Bible that I have. Is it wrong for me to read this Bible?

No one on earth may regard the LORD's righteous one, but the LORD sees and knows. He will not fail to judge the idolatry of His people, particularly among the leaders. Those who follow idolatry only fall into all kinds of perversion and wickedness. Although they look to their idols for help, their idols will not save them. Those who are contrite and lowly in spirit, however, will receive the LORD's comfort and help. This is found in Christ, the Righteous One who has died and risen for us, in order to give us righteousness and restoration and peace. Rev. Sam Beltz, pastor at St. John Lutheran Church in Oskaloosa, IA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Isaiah 57:1-21. "The Fifth Evangelist” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through Isaiah 40-66. Though Isaiah lived one hundred years beforehand, he writes to the people of God in exile in Babylon to assure them that their God reigns and will rescue them through the work of His servant. These promises are fulfilled in Jesus Christ, whose work Isaiah proclaims vividly seven hundred years beforehand.

Repentance consists of contrition and faith. Contrition is sorrow for sin, the terrors of conscience that are attendant the realization of the nature of sin and God's wrath toward it; faith, in this case, is the entirety of the Christian life — the ‘and then what', which follows regeneration. But more than this, to be truly repentant is to turn from one's sins and move toward God. In the Greek (μετανοια), repentance is a ‘change of one's mind', or, in the verbal form, ‘to change one's mind' — literally, ‘to think differently [about]'. When we are regenerated, we think differently about the sins of our past (and about the sins we still desire to commit) — we recognize that they are sins and that they are contrary to the will of God. And not only do we think differently about these matters (i.e., have that μετανοια, that change of mind), but we also seek to undo the harms that we have done — there are works that follow true repentance. In a very real sense, repentance is the core of the Christian life. We are saved, of course, by the work of Christ and the free gift of faith, but a living faith will always produce good works, and chief among those works are repentance and what flows from it. We read the Word of God, which convicts us of our sins, we feel sorrow for these sins (i.e., contrition) and we turn from them (i.e., repentance). This is the Christian life in this world.
