TRUE REPENTANCE
DEFINED BY sSWlNT
Instructive Sermon Preached
at ST. Peters Church
Last Evening

True Repentance for SIM was
the subject of an instructive ser.
mon delivered last night by Mon
slgnor j. ]. swint at st. Peters
Catholic Church, in which he
pictured Mary Magdalene as the
perfect example OF sincere re-
pentance. Monsignor swint Is to
be consecrated auxiliary bishop Of
the Wheeling diocese on May II.
The Reverend Mr.. Swint quoted
from the Scriptures the passage
where II Is said that Christ cast
out seven devils from Mary Mag.
dalene after she had confessed her
sins and showed a true repent
ance, but that after her conyers-
ion she was one Of the. closest
friends to Jesus Christ and the
first person to whom He appeared
after His resurrection.
Monsignor Swlnt explained the
attributes Of a sincere repentance
for sin, especially the difference
between a bodily sorrow or shame
for sin, and the heartfelt sorrow
with a firm resolution TO sin no
more. He said there were many
Catholics who attended mass regu-
larly and even frequented the sac
raments but who went through
life with souls stained with SIN,
many times because Of some pet
SIM" one for which the person is
not sincerely sorroy or which he
can not firmly resolve to give
up.
1.-THE man who comes to confes.
sion time after time with the same
old story is probably not sincerely
sorry for his sins" the Monsignor
continued. "for sincere contrition
must consist Of two things, true
sorrow for the sins we have COM
m.tted and firm resolve! to sin
no more. The man who Is a habit
tual blasphemer and who makes
very little effort to break himself
OF this sinful habit is not sincere,
when In the act OF contritIon
which he makes after confession
he says, God am heartily sorry
for sin,' for his sorrow is not from
his heart"
Monsignor swint pictured the
most beautiful repentance the
world has ever known-"the agony
OF Christ in the Garden OF Gethse.
name when the Saivor OF the
world sweat blood for the sins OF
men,"
at may be a long fight and a
hard fight but God has said, II
your hand tempt you, cut II off,
and this means we must avoid all
occasions OF sin for We can have
no hearty repentance unless we
firmly resolve to sin no more" the
monsignor concluded.
