April 6, 2021 by Dan Dellamarine Leave a Comment

Monastery of Santa Maria

The Sacrament of Confession and ‘To Sin No More’

August 11, 2019 by Dan Dellamarine Leave a Comment

Pope St. John Paul II:

Jesus Christ meets the man of every age, including our own, with the same words: “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” These words contain both a fundamental requirement and a warning: the requirement of an honest relationship with regard to truth as a condition for authentic freedom, and the warning to avoid every kind of illusory freedom, every superficial unilateral freedom, every freedom that fails to enter into the whole truth about man and the world.  (Redemptor Hominis No. 12)
