This about the wedding dress is very clear to me - without repentance you simply do not enter. I was thinking exactly the same thing yesterday in the garden, that the weeds must be pulled in time, otherwise they suffocate everything. I thank the bishop for saying it so simply.

Yes, the bishop said it very simply and clearly - without repentance you do not enter the wedding. As I watch how in my garden the weeds quickly drown out the tomatoes if I don't catch them in time, it's the same with the soul. Thanks for reminding him.
