"Lord, now I understand everything! Save me, save me, at any cost..."! If at such a moment of self-awareness the Savior suddenly appeared before us or sent an angel or any of His saints to rebuke us with a stern voice and demand that we repent by changing our lives, we would probably accept it. But what if, instead of an angel or a saint, or His own presence, Christ sent our neighbor (especially the one we do not love and who would torment us) and posed the vital question, "Did you repent in words or in deeds?" Then we would forget our words, suppress our feelings, renounce our repentance, and exclaim: "Get out of here! I will not be punished by God because of you, you will not teach me nor lead me to a new life." We would let the opportunity and the person sent by the Lord to become the consequence of our sins, the burden we would bear with patience, go to waste; the person sent to heal us and lead us humbly to the Kingdom of God, the person who would make us accept everything willingly from the hands of God, would be lost.
