There is no one who likes sinners in this world. If someone has committed a heinous crime against God and humanity and everyone points the finger of blame at him, saying, “He deserves to be put to death,” even his family may be unwilling to go near him.
However, a mother is different. She always stands by the side of her child even though all people in the world turn their faces away from him. Sometimes she may rebuke and whip her child because she wants him to grow up to be an upright person, but she can never give up on her child. She is the only person who can say to her child, “I still love you,” and will trust him to the end, although he is a sinner.
With this same kind of love, Heavenly Mother came to this earth. Since we committed such a grave sin in heaven—the unforgivable high treason deserving of death, She left Her heavenly throne to save us and chose to live a hard life as the Mother of sinners.
“Repentance” is the only way for us to relieve Mother’s burden on Her shoulders even the slightest bit and to practice filial piety toward Her. Since we cannot return to our heavenly home with sin, Mother earnestly wants us to achieve complete repentance. So, let us all bear fruit in keeping with repentance and please Mother as Her faithful children.
Repentance is the greatest act of filial piety toward God.
