"Sorrow for sin is consoling. But the fretting of soul that
arises because we have not come up to our own expectations is not true sorrow
for sin. Sorrow for sin arises from a conviction that we have not come up to
God’s expectations. Remorse is indeed painful, but remorse is merely the clamor
of conscience scolding the soul for its failures; it may lead to sorrow for the
past, or the rebuke may be silenced by the new and repeated excesses.
But true sorrow for sin is consoling. Pride may chafe us,
because we are not as good as we thought we were; right reason may torture us,
because we have acted through passion and wrong reason. Sorrow for sin,
however, is humble and is submissive and obedient to right reason. Penitence is
healing of the contrite in heart."

love as Jesus loves: unlocking the treasures of Christ’s Sacred Heart by Fr
