{UAH} Quote of the Early Fathers and Christians of the Church (33AD to 750AD):

Repentance effaces every sin when there is no delay after the fall of the soul -- when the disease is not allowed to go on for a long time. For then evil will not have power to leave its mark in us, when it is drawn up at the moment it is set down, like a plant newly planted.

St. Methodius of Olympus (250-311AD) on Repentance Mini-Bio: Asia Minor; bishop, ecclesiastical writer, martyr.
