This may sound silly, but besides the birth of my children, there is no more unexplained joyous feeling in this world than a good and heartfelt Confession. It is truly remarkable. I have a fellow Catholic friend who had been experiencing bouts of depression and despair for many years. I begged her go to Confession, which she did. The transformation in her psycological status was truly amazing. The guilt she had been caring around for years is gone and she has a new sense of purpose to amend her life.

Not silly in the least. My daughter and I take an essential oil called Melissa (Lemon Balm). It is a pricey herb, but it works very well on the nervous system. One day Therese came with us to confession at our "request," and afterwards, said, "Wow, thanks, that was taking 1,000 drops of Melissa." We still take our Melissa -- good stuff, but we also go to confession as frequently as possible (and are praying like crazy that our three fallen-away boys -- who are cranky -- will come back as well).
