“Let us then, O sinners, return instantly to Jesus Christ. If we have left him, let us immediately return before death overtakes us in sin and sends us to Hell, where the mercies and graces of the Lord shall, if we do not amend, be so many swords which shall lacerate the heart for all eternity.” (see CS Lewis’ ‘The Great Divorce’ here) - St Alphonsus Maria Liguori, sermon for Laetare Sunday.

Coming to terms with one’s own sin is (exceedingly) painful. Though, at this halfway point through Lent, Our Lord and the Church offers us solace, as well-explained here by one of the Doctors of the Church.

Very edifying for any who care to read.
