How do you repair wrongdoing?

Answer 1

.

Catholic AnswerAll "wrongdoing" is called sin, in other words, wrongdoing is offending God. Because it is an offense against an infinite Being, who is infinite perfection and goodness, all wrongdoing is an infinite wrong and could only be repaired by an Infinite Good. The only real way that wrongdoing has been repaired is by Our Blessed Lord reducing Himself to the human state and allowing Himself to be put to death and sacrificed to the Glory of God for the sake of our salvation. We can only participate in this, share in it, as we must apply His Sacrifice in our lives. We are made capable of doing this by virtue of our Baptism, when we again fall into sin, we lose this capability which is restored in the sacrament of confession. We are strengthened in doing good through participation in all the sacraments, and most especially in Holy Communion - in frequent reception of Holy Communion and Penance. These are the ways in which we are made capable of participating in Our Blessed Lord's action of making things right with God - but it is up to us to apply this in our lives as St. Paul explains "Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you and fill up those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for his body, which is the Church:"
