The Life of Repentance and Purity
By H.H Pope Shenouda III
What is Repentance?
v As sin is separation from God, repentance then is returning to God.* God says: “Return to me, and I will return to you” (Mal 3:7). When the prodigal son repented, he returned to his father (Luke 15:18-20). True repentance is a human longing to the origin from which it was taken. It is the desire of a heart that stayed away from God, and felt that it cannot go any further away.
v For as sin is disputing with God, so repentance is reconciliation with God. * This is what our teacher Saint Paul stated about his apostolic work, saying: “Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading by us:
we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God” but through it God returns and dwells in the human heart transforming it to a heaven. As for those non-repentant, how can God dwell in their hearts while the sin is dwelling therein? The Bible says, “What communion has light with darkness?” (2 Cor 6:14).

آية اليوم: لهذا يصلي لك كل تقي في وقت يجدك فيه عند غمارة المياه الكثيرة اياه لا تصيب انت ستر لي من الضيق تحفظني بترنم النجاة تكتنفني سلاه ( مز 32 : 6-7 )
حكمة اليوم : إن تعثرت فلا تقعد، بل قم وانطلق نحو القمة!
