Paradise
is not for those without sin. It is for the sinners. Paradise is full of
sinners who repented. It is open to us as well. As long as we take the first
step of repentance. Upon doing so, the good Lord hurries to take 10 steps to
pull us close to him. These are the steps of mercy and forgiveness. With the
pain of warm prayer, let us say: Our Lord Jesus Christ, give us true, tearful
repentance. You remained our only hope of salvation. You are the Truth in so
many lies. You are the joy found among our sorrows. You are the redemption of our sins. You are
the serenity found in a troubled world. Lord, we praise your patience and
tolerance!
Amen.
+Elder Ephraim of Arizona
