“We’re repenting so that we can receive the Good News and share the Good News,” said Archbishop Allen Vigneron in his homily at the Mass of Pardon. He explained that asking for God’s mercy is the indispensable first step toward receiving that mercy.
“That’s what pardon is in the Kingdom of God,” the archbishop said. “It’s not about forgetting, it’s about transformation.”
