| | Contrition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The word contrition itself in a moral sense is not of frequent occurrence in Scripture (cf. | | | But with the coming of Luther and his doctrine of justification by faith alone the absolute necessity of contrition was excluded as by a natural consequence. | | | In accord with Catholic tradition contrition, whether it be perfect or imperfect, must be at once (a) interior, (b) supernatural, (c) universal, and (d) sovereign. |

| | Theology Today - Vol 50, No. 2 - July 1993 - ARTICLE - The Logic and Lyric of Contrition |
| | The concept of contrition must be kept definite, and definitely Christian, by preserving the logic of the language in which we express and teach contrition in the church. | | | Contrition is that state of mind in which we appreciate with our spiritual viscera what God has done for us in Jesus Christ and in which we are "moved" to depart from our sin and consolidate ourselves in Christ. | | | Contrition is that state of mind in which we perceive with the eyes of the heart, and thus in a truly spiritual way, the issues of our selfhood. |

| | Since therefore sometimes a contrite person does not shed outward tears for his sins, whereas he weeps for the death of a friend, or for a blow, or the like, it seems that contrition is not the greatest sorrow. | | | But when there is reason for urgency, the penitent should fulfill his own part, by being contrite and confessing to whom he can; and although this person cannot perfect the sacrament, so as to fulfill the part of the priest by giving absolution, yet this defect is supplied by the High Priest. | | | Also the external manner is indicated by the word "tearful," and the origin of contrition, by the words, "arising from remembrance of sin," etc. Another definition is taken from the words of Augustine [*Implicitly on Ps. |

| | The Act of Perfect Contrition |
| | The mere perfect recitation of the form, as one says his prayers, is not sufficient. | | | When We say that the act of contrition must be supreme, we are saying that we must determine that we would rather die than commit a mortal sin. | | | When a person makes vows in religion, he does not merely recite a formula, but he makes an act of the will (expressed in words) to embrace the religious life. |

| | Contrite; Contrition (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools |
| | Contrite, "crushed," is only the superlative of "broken"; "a contrite heart" is "a heart broken to pieces." In Holy Scripture, the heart is the seat of all feeling, whether joy or sorrow. | | | The Augsburg Confession (Article XII) analyzes repentance into two parts: "Contrition and faith," the one the fruit of the preaching of the law, the other of the gospel. | | | It is not simply a precondition of faith, but, as hatred of sin, combined with the purpose, by God's aid, to overcome it, grows with faith. |

| | Contrition in the Age of Spin Control |
| | (As we say in the Act of Contrition, "but most of all because I have offended Thee, my God.") Expressions of sorrow over past shortcomings do not require abasing ourselves before others, and certainly not before persons who are unwilling to admit any misdeeds of their own. | | | That means, for one thing, recalling that when we sinners ask forgiveness, we are addressing ourselves, first and foremost, to God. | | | It seems to me that Catholic laypeople have a significant responsibility to help make sure that public penitential activities are kept in proper perspective. |

| | True Contrition |
| | This divine love penetrates the darkness of our sin-sick souls, revealing the glorious gospel truth; even though we have fallen short of the Glory of God, God has given us the promise of forgiveness, through the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross, so that we might enter into His heavenly Kingdom. | | | We hear about justification, sanctification, holiness, repentance, contrition, and penitence. | | | This is the nature of true contrition: it is not an awareness of divine judgment, but rather of divine love. |

| | And this would seem reasonable, because it is the clear teaching of the Church that perfect contrition justifies the sinner even without the Sacrament of Penance. | | | That attrition may make for justification, it must be interior, supernatural, universal, and sovereign (See Conditions in article CONTRITION.) Interior, for the Council of Trent requires that it should exclude the will to sin. | | | The detestation of sin arise from the love of God, Who has been grievously offended, then contrition is termed perfect; if it arise from any other motive, such its loss of heaven, fear of hell, or the heinousness of guilt, then it is termed imperfect contrition, or attrition. |

| | For it is evident that priests could not have exercised this judgment without a knowledge of the matter, nor could they have observed justice in imposing penalties, had the faithful declared their sins in general only and not specifically and one by one. | | | The holy council, while declaring these things regarding the parts and effect of this sacrament, at the same time condemns the opinions of those who maintain that faith and the terrors that agitate conscience are parts of penance. | | | Falsely also do they assert that contrition is extorted and forced, and not free and voluntary. |
