Confession - A Refrain

This blog laments often the paucity of holy followers of Jesus, but a priest, however imperfect, is divinely perfected when he sits as a confessor, who after listening to the confessions of penitents, uses the power invested in him by the grace of God to absolve sin.

When sins trouble the heart, confessing them lifts the burden that weighs on it, allowing one's interior to accept God's forgiveness (embedded in the wounds of Christ), Christ's peace and the Holy Spirit's fulfillment and inextinguishable love, when one is ready for them.

Confession is a gift from God that is too often ignored, not unlike the rest of God's gifts that are frequently wasted. Confess, and be blessed!
