SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 26th Sunday
DESCRIPTION:A reading from \nST CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA \n◊◊◊ \nThe doors are open for all who sincerely and wholeheartedly return to \nGod; indeed the Father is most willing to welcome back a truly repentant son or \ndaughter. The result of true repentance\, however\, is that you do not fall into the \nsame faults again\, but utterly uproot from your souls the sins for which you \nconsider yourself worthy of death. When these have been destroyed God will \nagain dwell within you\, since Scripture says that for the Father and his angels in \nheaven the festal joy and gladness at the return of one repentant sinner is great \nbeyond compare. That is why the Lord cried out: What I want is mercy\, not \nsacrifice. I desire not the death of the sinner but his conversion… \nAlthough only God has power to forgive sin and to cancel transgressions\, \nthe Lord commands us also to forgive our repentant brothers and sisters every \nday. So if we who are evil know how to give good gifts\, how much more generous \nmust be the Father of mercies\, the good Father of all consolation\, who is full of \ncompassion and mercy\, and whose nature it is to be patient and await our \nconversion! Genuine conversion\, however\, means ceasing to sin without any \nbackward glance. \nGod pardons what is past\, then\, but for the future we are each responsible \nfor ourselves. By repenting we condemn our past misdeeds and beg forgiveness \nof the Father\, the only one who can in his mercy undo what has been done\, and \nwipe away our past sins with the dew of the Spirit. \nAnd so\, if you are a thief and desire to be forgiven\, steal no more. If you are \na robber\, return your gains with interest. If you have been a false witness\, \npractice speaking the truth. If you are a perjurer\, stop taking oaths. You must \nalso curb all the other evil passions: anger\, lust\, grief\, and fear. No doubt you \nwill be unable all at once to root out passions habitually given way to\, but this \ncan be achieved by God’s power\, human prayers\, the help of your brothers and \nsisters\, sincere repentance\, and constant practice.
