DAILY HOMILIES #forgiveness of sin

When I look at the Cross, I realise Jesus Christ will forgive every sin. It was on the cross that Jesus said to the thief, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.” (Luke 23:43). It was also on the Cross that Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34). Meditate on the Cross, place yourself in the shoes of that repentant thief and say, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

Samuel tried to identify all the negative aspects of having a king to discourage the elders, but at this point, they were too angry to listen. They said: “We will have a king over us so that we also may be like all the nations.” In moments of failure, we tend to look down on ourselves, our efforts, our religion, or what we have. Stop trying to be like everyone else. You have a unique destiny. If God allowed you to fail, it is for a purpose. Identify the mistake and stop blaming God.

Like this man, God wants to heal you this advent. Begin by going for confession.
