In the sacrament of Penance, there is peace.<\/h2>\n


\n<\/span>Who remembers the times when, in seeking the sacrament of penance, after confessing, we heard this sentence: “Your sins are forgiven!”? <\/span>In important situations in my life, in faith seeking a priest to confess to, I experienced the Lord speaking to me as he said to the woman: “And Jesus said unto the woman, Thy sins are forgiven!”
\n<\/span>What peace, my God, I feel it as the repentant sinner!
\n<\/span>“Then the guests began to think, ‘Who is this who even forgives sins?’ But Jesus said to the woman, ‘Your faith has saved you. <\/span>Go in peace! ‘”(Lk 7, 47-50)
\n<\/span>The effect of God’s forgiveness on the penitent’s heart is so great that it has the life-transforming power of a lifetime. <\/span>Whoever seeks Christ often for the forgiveness of his sins, not only receives a new life, but gains divine strength to overcome sin.
\n<\/span>Jesus shows this power through love and mercy achieved: “the many sins that she committed are forgiven, because she showed much love. <\/span>He who is forgiven little shows little love “(Lk 7:47).
\n<\/span>Jesus I trust in you!
