Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of olive oil?
Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God."
Micah 6:7-8
"All proposals of peace, except those according to the gospel, are absurd. You could not answer the demands of Divine justice, nor satisfy the wrong done to the honour of God by sin, nor would you serve at all in place of holiness of the heart and reformation of the life. Men will part with any thing rather than their sins; but they part with nothing so as to be accepted of God, unless they do part with their sins."

We cannot search for the good through penance.We so want, at times, to pay for our sins.
"Deep conviction of guilt and sin
will make you seriously pursue Peace and Pardon.
And hope swells.
