I manaʻo e like me ka helu o kēlā me kēia hola i kēia manawa. Kāhea ʻia wau i kahi hoʻohuli kolohe. He mea pohihihi ia, akā ʻoliʻoli loa naʻe. Ke hoʻomākaukau nei ʻo Kristo iā mākou no kekahi mea ... i kekahi mea nui loa.
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.(Katherine de Hueck Doherty, Honi o Kristo)
