St. Cyril of Jerusalem - Catechesis II: Repentance, Strong Weapon of Salvation

"Would you know the power of repentance? Would you understand this strong weapon of salvation and the might of confession?"

With this second installment in St. Cyril's Lenten series of catechetical lectures, Cyril offers a remarkable testament to the power of repentance.

Cyril exhorts his catechumens to sure confidence in God's mercy, no matter how much one has sinned. God's mercy, Cyril reminds, extends even to a whole people; a nation; a globe.
