On Repentance

1 January 2026
 
To repent is to look, not downward at my own shortcom­ings, but upward at God's love; not backward with self-reproach, but for­ward with trustfulness. It is to see, not what I have failed to be, but what by the grace of Christ I can yet become.
 
        St. John Climacus
