“And Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and be baptized, every one of you,
in the name of Jesus Christ…” (Acts 2:38)
The word “repent” means to turn from sin, to change our actions. Change that is permanent comes from within. It requires prayer, discipline, and perseverance. Change is also hard. We have to recognize that we are broken and need help. The good news - we are not alone in our journey. Ask Jesus daily for guidance and patiently listen for his response.

Show Snippet: "Let's acknowledge at the front end, from a Catholic point of view, that the Eucharist is more essential than actual food that will keep you alive...people assume that if you'll close the church but keep the grocery store open what you're saying is that natural food is more important that spiritual food, but there are layers of consideration in here..."
