Today is the Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary. In the first reading from Jonah 3, the LORD sent Jonah to Nineveh to announce, "Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed." The people of Nineveh believed God and proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and small, put on sackcloth. When God saw by their actions how they turned from their evil way, he did not carry out what he had threatened to do to them. We see that repentance and turning away from evil is most powerful—it brings us back to the LORD our most beloved heavenly Father, not to mention the profound peace and great joy we'll experience. Only a giant fool would choose to go his own way!
