The invitation to repent is rarely a voice of chastisement but rather a
loving appeal to turn around and to “re-turn” toward God.
It is the beckoning of a loving Father and His Only Begotten Son
to be more than we are, to reach up to a higher way of life, to change,
and to feel the happiness of keeping the commandments. Being disciples
of Christ, we rejoice in the blessing of repenting and the joy of being
forgiven. They become part of us, shaping the way we think and feel.
