Reading "On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World" by Danya Ruttenberg, (Beacon Press, Boston) 2023 and RCL Baptism of the Lord Yr. B
Dear Lily, thank you for this thoughtful discussion on repentance. You put into words what I believe.
Being repentant is an action. In my case, the action is usually preceded by a prayer. Each day I pray for open mindedness, kindness, and to be guided to do the right thing to be a better human. During the day when I am taking actions, I examine my motive. I look around me and learn from the kindness of others, as well.
Thank you so much for this clear description of what is needed to truly repent, heal and make the world a better place.
