Praise and Repentance
“Whether you sing of his gifts in praise, or pour out your sins in groans, confess to the Lord since he is good, since his mercy is for ever. You see, as well as signifying the recital of our sins, confession also means the praise of our Lord, because even if we only do one of these things, we don’t do it without the other. For we accuse ourselves of our wickedness in the hope of his mercy, and we praise his mercy with a recollection of our wickedness.”
