True confession requires an honest examination of conscience, sincere...

Yet today’s growi...

Christ did not die and rise for Himself, but for us—so that our sins might be forgiven and we might share in eternal life. Through faith and baptism, we are united with Him: we die to sin and begin a new life in righteousness. For now, we live in the “little while” between Christ’s ascension and His return.
