We like parties. How truly humbling to hear Jesus saying, “there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance” (Lk. 15:7). He affirms that “there will be rejoicing among the angels of God over one sinner who repents” (Lk. 15:10).
Our God celebrates our turning away from sin and embracing His love. The angels of the Lord who danced with David and sang at our Saviour’s birth, all dance with joy and sing with glee over our repentance. Come, let us join this heavenly party. Let us turn away from sin, make our God happy, and dance all we want.
Lord Jesus, help us to turn away from sin and embrace Your mercy. May our conversion be the sign of our acceptance of Your invitation to attend Your heavenly party. Amen.
Blessings,
Fr. Howie
