There is nothing in life that physically demonstrates the spiritual as the act of entering into confession with a confessor. One can actually feel the weight of sin being lifted and being restored to a state of sanctifying grace.

All praise and glory to our Lord Jesus Christ for giving us this gift.

He was really a wonderful priest. The whole family liked him.

[Judith Anne]

That is so true.

Were that everyone feel it they would all come home to the Church. But one can’t describe it sufficiently to convince the non-believer. Truly, the feeling of having the stain of sin ripped away from one’s soul is an incredible experience.

Yes, you CAN feel the weight of the sin removed. It's a beautiful, necessary, sacrament. I used to go every other week, but when my hearing crapped out on me (and I was forced to make appointments for face-to-face), I was hardly going at all. Now, I'm back to every other week since the beginning of the year, and there's an obvious difference in my attitude and outlook. I think I read that John Paul II went every day.

My pleasure.
