How can penance heal your soul?  Fr. James Brent joins Jessica to talk about St. Thomas Aquinas' teaching on penance. In this episode Fr. James explains:

• How penance is "medicine for the soul" and corrects the disorder of sin
• The effects of penance, which include: restoring right order in the soul, restoring order in relationships, eradicating bad inclinations, and conducing a person to receive a change of heart.
• How penance is a participation in the satisfaction that Jesus made on the Cross

Fr. James Brent, O.P., is a priest in the St. Joseph Province Dominican Friars. He is a professor at the Dominican House of Studies and a popular retreat master and preacher.
