“Repentance isn’t about wallowing in shame and guilt,” writes the Rev. Matthew Welsch. “The Christian call to repentance is an invitation to turn around. To stop, take stock of our lives, and then realign ourselves to God’s vision for the world. Repentance is an act of joy.”

“At our specific time and place in history,” writes Kathy Bozzuti-Jones, “and as we draw close to the celebration of Jesus’s birth during Advent, we are invited again to prepare our hearts to receive God’s love here on earth.”
