I fiel dat as no elk oere telt. Dat ik bin oproppen ta in radikale bekearing. It is in mysterieus ding, en dochs ongelooflijk bliid. Kristus makket ús foar op wat ... wat bûtengewoan.
Yes, repentance is more than penitence. It is not remorse. It is not just admitting our mistakes. It is not self-condemnation: "What a fool I've been!" Who of us has not recited such a dismal litany? No, repentance is a moral and spiritual revolution. To repent is one of the hardest things in the world, yet it is basic to all spiritual progress. It demands the breaking down of pride, self-assurance, and the innermost citadel of self-will.(Catherine de Hueck Doherty, Tútsje fan Kristus)
