To you who have sinned, I say, that you ought to be ashamed to have offended so great and so good a God. But you have no reason to be ashamed of confessing the sins which you have committed. Was it shameful in St Mary Magdalen to acknowledge publicly at the feet of Jesus Christ that she was a sinner? By her confession she became a Saint.
