Patrick explores the concept of perfect contrition and explains what it truly means to love God more than fearing hell and how this profound act isn’t about emotions but a willful commitment. Even without feeling it emotionally, genuine intent and contemplation can bridge that gap. Patrick also discusses the beautiful Prayer "Before a Crucifix" to strengthen reflections. (This Prayer can be found on the Relevant Radio App)
