How they turned from their evil way

“When God saw by their actions how they turned from their evil way, he repented of the evil that he had threatened to do to them; he did not carry it out.” (JON 3: 10)

When we are confronted with God’s word, we can see our actions  from a different angle; we can change our hearts and our motivation–we can repent. Our Lord wants us close to Him and happy with Him. He is always “gracious and merciful.” Repentance is the best way to “return to Him with our whole hearts.”

“Even now, says the LORD, return to me with your whole heart for I am gracious and merciful.” (Gospel Acclamation)
