Fr. Joseph Iannuzzi: "We cannot be at peace, and we cannot be free of fear if we do not repent. It's impossible. The conscience never leaves us alone. I don't care how disciplined you are by training or military or ecclesial formation. The conscience is free to always remind you that God exists and that you must be right with God.

And therefore, in order for us to be at peace, we have to be reconciled with our conscience, which is the voice of God. And to do that, we first and foremost have to repent. Once we are right with God, all fear dissipates. Now, certainly, we may have to begin a spiritual journey and grow in holiness from where we presently are...some, more than others. But in that journey, God is right next to us, along with the Blessed Mother, along with our guardian angels. And we have nothing to fear. Because if God is with us, who is against us?"
