True Confession

Confession, or the Sacrament of Reconciliation, is one of the least appreciated of all the sacraments.  In recent years, fewer and fewer Catholics are going to confession, yet more and more secular people are frequenting internet tell-all confession sites.  Hmmm.......do they know something we need to know?  Is confession really good for the soul?

I have not listened to your podcast yet, Cyndi and Deacon Tim, but would like to say that Reconciliation is a wonderful Sacrament. One of my favorites. God's grace, strongly and freely given through the Sacrament, has given me peace, healed me of many hurts, has strengthend me in my walk with Christ, and has helped me overcome many sins and character flaws. God has so much more work to do in me, but I thank Him humbly for what he has accomplished in me so far.

A simpleton for Christ,
Lori

I left a lengthy comment on the podcast page, so I won't repeat it here. Just wanted to say thanks for this beautiful discussion.

"I cannot believe no one has commented yet on this most awesome discussion of Reconciliation. Prepare yourself, this may be long. I loved this discussion for a couple of reasons. Thing One: my Husband The Convert has never been comfortable with this sacrament and, in fact, avoids it like the plague. We've been talking about it more lately because he's been diagnosed with mild/moderate depression and his pastoral counselor suggested he avail himself of this sacrament regularly. Thing Two: I am teaching the Reconciliation preparation class for this year's crop of second graders. It is such a joyous and beautiful experience. I love being able to share this wonderful gift of God's love with them. I thank you for several biblical references to use during my prayer service tomorrow morning. I enjoyed being able to read them a children's book and make them see how it's really all about contrition, unending love and reconciliation - Where the Wild Things Are...think about the story. The connections are there. Thanks so much for this pod cast. Oh, and I'll add "stealing from my boss" to my list for my next Reconciliation, since I am at work!"
