Throughout Sacred Scripture and in the lives of the saints, we see many individuals who at some point in their lives turned far away from God and his ways, even for many years. Yet, with his grace, their hearts were transformed and they experienced a radical conversion. Then, the Lord entrusted them with leadership; significant work; and the task of preaching his Gospel. How important it is for us to remember that, with God’s help, it is never too late for us to change! The Lord will never give up on us and, once we accept his invitation to return to him with all our hearts, he will embrace us in his love and mercy and use us as his powerful instruments to touch the lives of others.
