For what do you pray? Never forget to ask for repentance, for this is a prayer especially pleasing to the Father, one which He will not fail to answer. Repentance is a joyful experience because it drives us into the arms of God, to His very heart. When repentance has found room in your heart, a stream of joy will flow forth. Out of repentance comes new divine life, marked by love — and love creates happiness. The heavenly Father wants to give you this gift of repentance. He cannot bear to see anyone unhappy.
