Sunday, June 13, 2010:
Jesus said: “My people, in the first reading the prophet Nathan chastised King David for purposely putting Uriah the Hittite in the heaviest part of the battle so he would die, and then David took Uriah’s wife to be his own wife. King David then repented for this indirect murder and his adultery, and asked forgiveness of God for his sins. Even My chosen ones have committed sins and I gave them the opportunity to come to Me in repentance. In the Gospel a woman, who had committed many sins, washed My feet with her tears, dried them with her hair, and applied ointment to My feet. For her sincerity in faith I forgave her sins. I then explained to Simon that those, who are forgiven more sins or more serious sins, have a deeper love for Me and are more thankful than those who are forgiven fewer sins or less serious sins. Those disciples of Mine, who love Me dearly and are given many understandings of My Law, will be more responsible for when they sin against Me. All the more reason that My faithful should confess their sins at least monthly because they know better, and have no excuse for committing their offenses against Me. Still I am all forgiving of any sinner who comes to Me for repentance. This is also why there is celebration in heaven for even one repentant sinner. I love all of you and I wait for you to come to Confession when I can forgive your sins and restore My graces to your souls.”
