Through contrition, repentance, penance, darkness and suffering we are purified and prepared for Heaven
God the Father is calling everyone to turn to Him; yet the gloomy interiors of sinful souls resemble a dark room in a catacomb: people who refuse to repent, who refuse to confess their sins, and who do no penance.

Christ's Sacrifice - offered from on earth - is like a beacon of light before Heaven. Who would dare to take this 'way' to Heaven without seeking forgiveness first?

Who is better than a repentant sinner at determinedly hauling along others, away from evil and towards Heaven?
