Series on Conversion by Fr Haggerty (2/8): Chapter 13
Remembering your sin can be uncomfortable. But it’s not about the sin — remembering your sin is remembering God’s mercy. It’s going back to Jesus’s presence at that moment, and to the way he changed it. Remembering that is the start of understanding your conversion more deeply, and to living your conversion more sustainably. A conversion based solely on feelings just doesn’t last. After all, we don’t graduate from being poor; from being one who is saved, from needing a savior. Being poor is a permanent posture of the disciple. There’s only one place our sin makes sense: at the foot of the cross. Take the crucifix off the wall and bring it close. Study it. Spend time with it. Make the sacrifice of Christ personal. Does his suffering matter to you?

Father of Mercies
Do you trust God’s mercy? We are invited to bring to light those things that we are keeping in the dark and tough and trust that God, in his mercy, will love and care for us there. When we bring something to the Lord, it’s forgiven and gone; he no longer sees us with that. He doesn’t define us as a son or daughter who did this bad thing. To the Father’s eyes, we are not defined by our sin and our weakness…
