What will I say to those who feel the burden of past sins? Of the sins of their youth? Of the poor decisions in their marriage? Of the effects of addictions? What do I say, especially, to those who see that their life has slipped away from them and that the hopes which they once had are crushed? These are the ones who carry inner burdens that seemingly have no answer. They have made choices and their decisions have been the wrong ones.

Long ago, I became man to help you. I came to call sinners, not the righteous. I came to help those who seemingly had been cast aside by their own decisions. Do you not see? I am the redeemer and you are in need of redemption. Let me be a redeemer to you. In me, all is redemption for those who know they need redemption.

I speak specifically to the woman who has chosen an abortion and knows that she cannot go back. She cannot change her decision. She cannot say, “Give that life to my child which I decided to remove”.

All is not lost. Begin with sorrow for your decision. That is the door that opens to life. Do not listen to those who would explain away the act. Those explanations do not reach the depth of your guilt. I must pluck out the sorrow, like someone removing a stone from your heart. Come now. Let us begin. Go to the priest. Confess your sin. Receive my Son’s forgiveness. I will be with you there. After that, I will show you the road to walk to regain a fullness of peace.
