“…as soon as I sin, I feel the need for someone to free me, to loosen my ties to sin, and then I feel relief. Most often there is no question of turning my mind to this pain which is in my heart when I sin, when I commit evil, and which is the beginning of true repentance. If I don’t bring the grace of God’s forgiveness, the grace of His mercy, into that pain, then I haven’t repented properly, I haven’t confessed properly…” Mother Siluana #God #repentance #pain
