Come Closer to Me — Humility, Contrition, and Grace

Drawing on the Old Testament story of Joseph inviting his repentant brothers to "come closer," this meditation explores God’s tender invitation to draw near despite our sins. Through the parable of the humble tax collector and the inspiring witness of St. Maria Goretti’s forgiveness, we are reminded that God never tires of offering His mercy. By approaching the Sacrament of Reconciliation, we discover true peace and the joy of a contrite heart. A meditation by Father Timothy Uhen.
