We have all been there before. We fall into sin, we sincerely confess our sins in the sacrament of reconciliation, we resolve never to sin anymore, we receive divine forgiveness and guarantee of forgiveness through the words of absolution from the priest, and then we find ourselves falling into the same sin again, sometimes even worse than the previous time.
We may even end up thinking that we are not truly sorry for our sins in the first place. We may even doubt that we have been forgiven in the past. We may wonder if the sacrament of Reconciliation really has any effect on our lives. We may even think that God is tired of forgiving us and that we are just hopeless cases. Finally, we give up striving for a deeper repentance.
