Know yourself to turn; confess with unveiled face

For it is not possible to turn toward the Lord for the one who has not known himself; and someone knows himself by bringing the understanding upon the deeds—at once inspecting them and at once also making them noetic. For then “with uncovered face we mirror the glory of the Lord,” and confessing the former things we will say that “we have sinned and stood away from you” (2 Corinthians 3:18) and “that you are just upon all that you have brought upon us.” (Daniel 9:5) (Daniel 9:14)
