The 11th verse of Psalm 51 is a repetition of verse 3.

Psalm 51:11: “Turn away your face from my sins; blot out all my guilt.”

(Via USCCB.)

The Lord forgives, and the Lord “forgets.” The slate is clean, it is “as if” the sin never happened.

I have a new book! "The Sober Catholic Way" is a handbook on how anyone can live a sober life, drawn from over 17 years of SoberCatholic posts! It's out now on "Amazon," "Apple Books," "B&N" and and others!"!

My two other books are still available! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
