“Just saying ‘I’m sorry,’ or ‘I shouldn’t have done it,’ does not wipe out or clean away the hurt, harm, and/or scar that the offense, sin or damage caused to the mind, body or the Soul, or to the victim of our offensive action.
When we sin and we feel we have to confess it, the penance received in the confessional basically only relieves the conscience, but can we really say we have never repeated the sin and that we won’t sin again?
Restitution is important, not violent restitution, but a sincere feeling of obligation to show God we love Him and become more aware of the purity of our Soul, an act of love to replace the act of sin.
We can’t bear to see someone we love or even strangers get hurt, so why can’t we learn to protect our Soul from disgrace, harm, scars, or sadness?
We have a moral obligation, a moral responsibility to return our Soul to God in the state of purity that will please God and reward our Soul to enter the Kingdom of God bearing our name; not fictional advice, but factual information.
We all want the good things in the physical life. It should be more wise to strive for Sainthood.
We have God’s Rules.”
