# 1490 in the Catholic Catechism

The movement of return to God, called conversion and repentance, entails sorrow for and abhorrence of sins committed, and the firm purpose of sinning no more in the future. Conversion touches the past and the future and is nourished by hope in God's mercy.

Repentance (also called contrition) must be inspired by motives that arise from faith. If repentance arises from love of charity for God, it is called "perfect" contrition; if it is founded on other motives, it is called "imperfect."

Jesus needs to change your heart before true repentence is possible. Repenting is turning away from your sin outright (doesn't mean you won't sin ever again but forgiveness endures).
