Up until a few years ago, it had been more than two decades since my last confession. When I finally returned to the sacrament of reconciliation, it was an incredible feeling --like a huge burden had been lifted from my shoulders.

If you want to take my advice, run don't walk to the nearest confessional. You won't be disappointed.

Me too. I can’t remember the last time I went. I figure cut out the middle man and go straight to the top.

BTW, the two marks of a thriving and holy Catholic Church are the
1. length of the lines for Confession
2. the number of vocations from your parish.

We have no trouble with the length of the lines for Confessions as you can tell from my previous posts, and we have one young man on the way to the priesthood.

It doesn’t matter how long it’s been, trust me. Go. Now, if you can. You won’t believe how good the Lord’s grace will make you feel. You’ll WANT to be a better person.

Don’t worry if you don’t remember how, or how awful you think you’ve been. Father will help you through it, and Our Lord will forgive all.

Regards and Best Wishes,
