The screw up, blow it, mis-speak .. etc.
No sin, no sinner .... no sinner, no need for forgiveness ..... no need for forgiveness, no need for a forgivER, ..... no need for a forgiver, no need for God.
Up is down, bad is good ..... and nothing will change/reverse until a man allows himself to look inside himself and see his wretchedness and willfully confesses.
Empty confessionals? I got to church 45 minutes early to go to confession, waited 40 minutes and Monsignor turned the lights off in the confessional after the Gloria. No one in the confessionals? Come visit my parish on a Sunday when several of say a complete Rosary while standing in line.
BTTT
The Pontiff noted the priest’s sacrifices on behalf of the souls who came to him in confession, quoting his words to another confrere: “I will tell you my recipe: I give sinners a small penance and the rest I do in their place.”
“Souls have been won at the price of Jesus’ own blood,” the Holy Father stated, “and a priest cannot devote himself to their salvation if he refuses to share personally in the ‘precious cost’ of redemption.”
That advice of course need not be just for the ministerial priesthood.
