“Success in life consists of standing without shame before God.”
St Charbel
The just man does not participate in guilt and shame,
only in sorrow and repentance for sins committed,
and for failure to act in a just and righteous manner
with a contrite and repentant heart!
Purified by the sacrament of reconciliation,
by mercy,
and by deliverance of the stains and impurities caused by sinful acts,
we may once again be cleansed and empowered by grace,
So that we may stand before God
and reflect the grace and love he permeates in us and for us!
The light of Christ revealed,
and uninhibited by the world, the flesh and the devil,
is true light, pure light.
It is holy innocence,
reflecting God and his glory,
in every thought, word, and deed!
Psalm 34:5 (RSV)
“Look to him, and be radiant;
so your faces shall never be ashamed.”
