One Minute Reflection – 29 January – Speaking of Repentance
Repent, therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out...Acts 3:19
REFLECTION – “I know and as I do every one knows, who has used a little more than ordinary consideration, that no man who has any fear of God omits to reform himself in obedience to His words but he who thinks that he has longer time to live. This it is which kills so many, while they are saying, Tomorrow, Tomorrow and suddenly the door is shut. He remains outside…You speak well and truly; God has promised pardon on your amendment, I cannot deny it but tell me, I pray you, see, I consent, I grant, I acknowledge that God has promised you pardon but who has promised you a tomorrow?”…St Augustine (354-430) Doctor of the Church, Sermon 32
PRAYER – Lord, my holy God, grant that I may always seek Your forgiveness and strive each moment to live Your will. I am weak and a sinful creature but long to see Your face and reach my heavenly home. Fill me with Your grace that I may live in the Light and footsteps of Your divine Son. Lord, Jesus Christ, son of God, my father, have mercy on me, a sinner. Amen
