## Resource

Contrition true, painful sorrow for sin is rarely spoken of today, yet Scripture places immense weight on it. The word comes from a root meaning “to bruise” or “to grind,” capturing the reality that our sins wound others and offend God. Real repentance begins only when that truth hurts us. Astonishingly, God declares that He dwells not only “in the high and holy place” but also “with him that is of a contrite and humble spirit.” Contrition opens the heart to the presence of the Almighty. But ours is an age of arrogance, cruelty, and mockery where humor is weaponized, youth revel in put-downs, and hurting others is treated as cleverness. Personal and national pride have replaced humility. What we need now, urgently, is contrition: the broken-hearted repentance that welcomes God’s transforming presence.
