The sacred season of Lent is a season of grace for us to deepen our relationship with God. This year, the Friends of Divine 8-part, DRAW NEAR TO JESUS LENTEN 2022 WEEKLY VIDEO REFLECTION series is a compilation of spiritual talks by Fr. Michael Payyapilly V.C., over the past year.
The fourth video of this series is "REPENTANCE-When We Fall, We Must Rise Up and Stand Again!" This Divine Australia talk was live-streamed in March 2021. Fr. Michael's Spirit-filled sharing reminds us that "Repentance is a process of the mystical union of each of us with Jesus. It is our spiritual union with Jesus."
"We make Lenten resolutions but it doe not always match up. Sometimes we falter, we fail, and then we think we might as well continue this way. But it is important; if we have fallen, we need to rise again."
"How many times have we defended our sinful actions? Don't defend your sinful action. When we stand in the Presence of God, He will reveal what is there. Let us be humble enough to declare, 'Yes, Lord, I have sinned!'"
"That is more heroic. It is more spiritual challenging as you know that you have fallen, but you stand up and try again."
Next Sunday (27 March 2022), Fr. Michael will share the Word of God on “FORGIVENESS - THE ULTIMATE GRACE FROM GOD."
Please do share this Friends of Divine Lenten 2022 Weekly Video Reflection series with your loved ones, prayer groups, and friends to make this holy season of Lent a transforming experience in our Christian life.
