Repentance.
To recognize that you were going one way, the wrong way.
To turn around and make a change.
When I lived in Saint Louis my boss would ask me, "Katie have you repented today?" When we would make home visits to members of the congregation he would shout from the front yard, "Maria, repiente te!"
Day after day, we walk towards injustice, towards laziness, towards hatred, towards greed. EVERY day there's and invitation to turn back.
I LOVE it!
