The theme of Pesach Sheni[31] (lit., the "second Passover") is that it is never too late. It is always possible to put things right. Even if one was tamei (ritually impure), or one was far away, and even in a case of lachem - when this (impurity, etc.) was deliberate - nonetheless he can correct it.

Notes:

31. (Back to text) In the first year of the Jews' forty-year sojourn in the desert, certain Jews were unable to properly fulfill their Passover obligations. In response to their cry, "Why should we be denied the privilege of bringing the offering?" G-d established Pesach Sheni to give them the opportunity to fulfill their obligations a month later.
