Will God Forgive Me?

"By frequently receiving the sacrament of Penance you will discover that Jesus has confidence in you and loves you without limits; that the past can be surpassed, since forgiveness opens up a new future."

"‘Come to me, all you who are weary and find life burdensome, and I will refresh you’ (Mt 11:28). We are not afraid to come before Christ with the burden of our infidelities: he is the Redeemer!"

"God conquers evil with his infinite mercy. It is in the face of this merciful love that a desire for conversion and a yearning for new life must be reawakened in us."

"The embrace of the reconciliation between the Father and all sinful humanity took place on Calvary. May the crucifix, sign of love of Christ who sacrificed himself for our salvation, instill in the hearts of every man and woman of our time that same trust which prompted the prodigal son to say: "I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, ‘Father, I have sinned.’" He received the gift of forgiveness and joy."
