39/42
The human person is so precious for
God that ever after the worst sin is
committed, there is still in him/her aremnant of Gods image and likeness, a
natural longing for wholeness on which
grace can build. Rebirth, however, is notpossible without a profound sorrow, and
a perfect contrition for sins. Contrition is
a new encounter with God. There is a
need for us to repent each time we sin,ask forgiveness and healing through the
sacrament of Reconciliation.
