“Repentance is renewal of Baptism. Repentance is a covenant with God that a new life will be led. Repentance is a spring of humility. Repentance is irrevocable renouncement of any desire for physical goods. Repentance is self-condemning thought and care for oneself without the care for external things. Repentance is a daughter of hope, and denial of hopelessness. The repentant is a convict who is not deprived of honour. Repentance is reconciliation with the Lord through performance of good deeds that are contrary to the former sins. Repentance is purification of consciousness”. (Saint John Climacus)
