"Fight manfully" and "make me clean."

"So fight manfully!” -1 Sam 4:1-11

“If you wish, you can make me clean.” - Mk 1:40-45

In Christ through His death on the Cross God fights manfully to make us clean of sin so as to share with us His Resurrection.

“I do will it. Be made clean.”

Fight sin manfully with Christ whose Cross is made effective through forgiveness of sins in Confession.

Christ died so that you could live. Fight manfully.
