About this listen

 Repentance is an opening up of the heart so it can accept the joyful Kingdom of God; it is the exercise of a son or a daughter who longs to enter inside the new depths of his/her heavenly Father’s bosom; it is a renewal of the inner man as he/she longs to reach the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (Epistle to Ephesians 4:13). Indeed, repentance is a renouncing of sins that prevail in the darkness, and the bonding to the divine Light, the Grantor of victory. As for confession, it cannot be separated from true inner repentance. They both work together to fulfill the commandment of the apostle to “…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” (Epistle to Philippians 2:12). Our Lord Jesus Christ has always honored man; for He has never separated Himself from His Church, rather He considered it His Holy Body. His honoring of man lives on, by granting His forgiveness by His Holy Spirit by way of His disciples. He told His disciple, Peter, “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (Matthew 16:18, 19). Through repentance and confession our inner eyes are opened to realize that both are one sacrament - a sacrament for the preparation for the heavenly nuptial. We can then behold God the Father rushing toward us to hold us in His bosom; and we would behold God the Son accepting us as a heavenly Bride for Himself; while God the Holy Spirit makes us more beautiful to become an icon of the heavenly Groom. Repentance and confession are a love offering of the soul before God, where man experiences the crucifixion of his lusts and fondness of the world, and seeks a provisional glory, through our Lord Jesus Christ. Then, he would be able to ascend with Him to the heavens. This book presents general guidelines to help in repenting and confession more effectively and answers to many questions like: How Do I Repent? How Do I Confess? What Should I Say? Can't I just repent and not confess? I confess certain sins, but I do them again; what should I do? Is the will of God in what my father of confession says? I don’t have a true desire to repent; should I wait until I repent then confess? I committed a certain sin and I am too ashamed to confess it to my father of confession; can I confess this sin to another priest that doesn’t know me? Can a priest talk about confessions he has heard with other priests? I usually forget certain sins; should I write them down so I can recall them during my confession? How can I choose a father of confession? Why do I need the support of a priest? Christianity Spirituality
