"I was being called to surrender the very citadel of my self. I was completely in the dark. I did not really know what repentance was or what I was required to repent of. It was indeed the turning point of my life"

This quote by Bede Griffiths speaks with the power of repentance and the transformative result it can have on one's life. It talks to the trouble of the process, as he was "entirely in the dark" and did not know what he was needed to repent of. It talks to the nerve it requires to give up the "citadel of [one's] self" and to open oneself approximately the possibility of change. It speaks to the power of repentance to produce a turning point in one's life, to bring about an improvement that can be both challenging and liberating. It speaks with the power of repentance to cause a new beginning, a brand-new lifestyle and being in the world.
