![“We need repentance. You see, repentance is not only going to a priest and confessing. We must free ourselves from the obsession of thoughts. We fall many times during our life, and it is absolutely necessary to reveal everything [in Confession] to a priest who is a witness to our repentance…” quote by Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/84a/elder-thaddeus-of-vitovnica-33_christianity_we-need-repentance-you-see-repentance-is_41357.jpg)
