Why are you sorry for your sins? If most of us truly examine our consciences, we discover that most of our contrition comes from fear of hell. And that's not a bad thing! | | The Catechism of the Catholic Church calls this "imperfect contrition," and it's a powerful aspect of Confession. But what if we didn't go to Confession because we're scared by the fear of punishments? What if, instead of flying to God and His sacraments out of fear, we came to them out of pure love? What if our repentance for our sins could not only be sufficient for forgiveness, but propel us to even greater heights of sanctity? What if instead of imperfect contrition we could have…perfect contrition? | | CCC 1452 tells us: "When contrition arises from a love by which God is loved above all else, contrition is called 'perfect.'" In other words, perfect contrition means that we are sorry for our sins solely because they offend God. Perfect contrition is so powerful that the Catechism tells us that God can even work through it to forgive sins! Confession is truly a powerful sacrament, but part of its purpose is to move our own hearts towards purer love of God. The story of Mary Magdalene demonstrates the power of these heartfelt movements. | | A former prostitute, she had fallen far into the depths of sin, but was saved through the merciful words of Christ. As one of the women who accompanied Jesus to His crucifixion, she witnessed firsthand the terrible impact of our sins. She must have developed a perfect contrition for her sins unlike any saint before or since. And if you want to develop true contrition for your sins as she did, she will be delighted to help you! Discover her secret and pray for her intercession through The Magdalena Prayer Book: Devotions for Habitual Perfect Contrition & Spiritual Communion. | | This book invites you to follow in Mary Magdelene's footsteps by outlining concrete ways to cultivate the conditions for perfect contrition. You'll discover the power of "spiritual Communion" and how to incorporate it into your daily life, especially when you can't make it to Mass on a given day. Plus, with Scripture quotes on contrition, repentance, and reunion with God, it provides a holistic resource for contrition and spiritual Communion that will guide you toward genuine sorrow for your sins. | | Whether you're brand new to Confession or go all the time, these are timeless devotions that will bear enormous fruit for all repentant souls! This book will also give you a newfound appreciation for spiritual Communion and methods for making a simple yet profound one. You'll grow in appreciation for the splendor of the Holy Eucharist and long for the times when you can visit Christ and share His Presence, just as Mary Magdalene did.
