"What dost thou chiefly require of a guilty and wretched sinner but that he should heartily repent and humble himself for his sins?

In true contrition and humility of heart is brought forth hope of forgiveness; a troubled conscience is reconciled; grace that was lost is recovered; a man is secured from the wrath to come, and God meets the penitent soul in the holy kiss of peace.

Humble contrition for sins is an acceptable sacrifice to Thee, O Lord (Ps 1:19), of far sweeter odor in Thy sight than the burning of frankincense.

this is also that pleasing ointment which Thou wouldst have to be poured upon Thy sacred feet, for Thou never yet hast despised a contrite and humbled heart."

-Thomas a Kempis, Imitation of Christ

Idk what it says about me that my two most successful and favorite pieces of writing I’ve done are

1. A man in the 80s who kills the priest that allowed his wife’s killer to go free thirty years ago and

2. A 19th century ship’s steward who slowly loses his comfort in Catholicism due to continuous death and insanity surrounding him

"Learn this lesson: not to trust Christ because you repent, but trust Christ to make you repent; not to come to Christ because you have a broken heart, but to come to Him that He may give you a broken heart; not to come to Him because you are fit to come, but to come to Him because you are unfit to come. Your fitness is your unfitness. Your qualification is your lack of qualification." - Charles Spurgeon

A Game of Thrones, Catelyn IV

He was alone in the room, seated at a heavy wooden table, an oil lamp beside him as he wrote. When they ushered her inside, he set down his pen and looked at her.

“Cat,” Petyr said quietly.

“Why have I been brought here in this fashion?”

He rose and gestured brusquely to the guards. “Leave us.” The men departed.

“You were not mistreated, I trust,” he said after they had gone. “I gave firm instructions.”

He noticed her bandages. “Your hands…”

Catelyn ignored the implied question.

“I am not accustomed to being summoned like a serving wench,” she said icily. “As a boy, you still knew the meaning of courtesy.” 

“I’ve angered you, my lady. That was never my intent.”

He looked contrite. The look brought back vivid memories for Catelyn.

Petyr Baelish had been a sly child, but after his mischiefs he always looked contrite; it was a gift he had.

“Contrition is humility of the soul, crushing sin between hope and fear.”

Moons Apart

Will I ever reach youwhen there are tides surging and sweeping anything in between? Have you seen something on these stair steps winding within? Wild-eyed hope scurry into the woods of the night to heed the call, wasted so many years growing up to find nothing beyond these walls. I falter hearing blood and friends are in their ways broken, but all I do is listen and pretend to…

Overcoming Rock Bottom: The Power of Meekness and Surrender

The journey of meekness and humility, as described in Matthew 5:5, often starts with moments of deep brokenness, leading to a recognition of the need for change and dependence on a Higher Power.

Contrition: No Half Measures

You're either contrite or you're not, there are no half measures. Not everyone will live with contrition, be contrite. Contrition is not just about apologising with the right words, but about genuinely acknowledging and taking responsibility for any wrongdoing.

Demonstrating a willingness to learn

When someone is truly contrite, they demonstrate a willingness to listen, learn and grow from their mistakes. They recognise the harm caused and will make a sincere effort to repair the damage and prevent similar mistakes from happening in the future.

Contrition is more than just saying the right words

Yes, contrition is about more than just saying the right words – it's about showing humility and a willingness to change. It's about acknowledging actions have consequences. It echoes the idea that being sorry is about taking concrete steps to put things right. It's a call to accountability and taking ownership of our actions. When we're truly sorry for our mistakes, we're willing to put in the effort to make amends, rather than just go through the motions of apologising.

No 'half measures'

Contrition also resonates with the idea there are no 'half measures.' When we commit to a path or a goal, we should be all-in, with no reservations or half-hearted efforts. Similarly, when we express contrition, we need to be genuine and committed without excuses or pretences. We may use governments as an example.

They are responsible for the electorate, there is no room for half measures. They need to remove their egos altogether and place ownership on their decisions. When they work from the ego, and the majority do, there is no contrite.

Contrition is a reminder Contrition is a powerful reminder of the importance of sincerity, accountability, and commitment not only to ourselves, but to others in our personal and professional lives. It is necessary for growth, healing and moving forward with our lives.

Many mourn for their sins that do not truly repent of them, weep bitterly for them, and yet continue in love and league with them.

Heart Attitude

Isaiah 66:2b (Youngs Literal Translation) … And unto this one I look attentively, Unto the humble and bruised in spirit, And who is trembling at My word. Heart Attitude                It is interesting what men will do to get God’s attention.  In Isaiah 66, God addresses all that man does for Him.  He is not looking for what we can build for him or the sacrifices that we can make unto Him. …

[eurychphanpelcael]

「より良くあれ」 人類が互いにそう求め合い、叶え続けた結果、求められる条件にそぐわぬ者から緩やかに淘汰される地獄が完成した。 「良くあらざる」者は皆、誰の視界にも入らぬ適応の外周に再配置され、亡者の如く扱われた。 …埒外の悲惨、それは選ばれざるすべての者たちの、生の苦悶にして悔恨そのものである。

"Be better." As a result of the mutual demands of humankind and their continued fulfillment, an hell has been completed in which those who do not meet the required conditions are slowly eliminated. All the "not better" were reassigned to the periphery of the adaptation, out of everyone's sight, and treated like a dead person. … The misery of outside the pale, it is the very raw anguish and contrition of all those who are not chosen.

Isaiah 57: Rest In Peace

The righteous were defined both by their hearts and their habits—because of their love for God and God’s word, their lives reflected God’s righteousness. #Isaiah67 #RIP #RestInPeace #NoRestfortheWicked

It seems many good people had died early in life, and no one seemed to be taking note of that trend. The righteous perish,    and no one considers why;the devout are taken away,    while no one understands    that it is due to evil that the righteous are taken away. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace    and rest on their couches. Isaiah 57:1-2 (NRSVUE, italics added) The righteous were…

“Contrition is so powerful, so holy and so desirable that a single act of true contrition is capable of wiping out a thousand mortal sins.” - ST. JOHN EUDES

"When contrition arises from a love by which God is loved above all else, contrition is called 'perfect'. Such contrition remits venial sins; it also obtains forgiveness of mortal sins if it includes the firm resolution to have recourse to sacramental confession as soon as possible." ~ CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH paragraph # 1452
