Isn't confession amazing? At a moment's notice, you can walk into a Catholic Church or walk up to a priest, and He will hear you confess your sins. Then, if you are truly sorry, God forgives you. Through the ministry of the Church, you are granted pardon and peace. You are absolved from your sins. Your soul is whiter than snow. You have come clean. You are pure. You are beautiful. And God loves you the same as before!! But now you can more fully recieve and live that love. Today, let's pray for our confessors. Pray for our priests who minister God's mercy to the world! Pray for anyone in mortal sin, in desperate need of reconciliation. And pray for eachother- we all need forgiveness, mercy, and the pardon and peace of God.
Friend, if you haven't been to confession for a while, consider this your invitation. : ) Jesus loves you! He wants more than anything else for you to come back to Him with your whole heart. Give Him all that separates you from His love, goodness, and mercy, and allow Him to penetrate deep within your soul, heal your wounds, and give you peace.
