A wonderful Sacrament of Healing that enables us to tell God we are sorry for our sins and to ask God for His forgiveness.  When we receive His forgiveness, we are then in the state of sanctifying grace again and our soul is cleansed of all our sins and iniquities.

First Reconciliation 

2 Corinthians 12:9

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” I will rather boast most gladly of my weakness, in order that the power of Christ may dwell in me.”

Grace is one of the most powerful gifts that I think we can get directly from God. When we leave the confessional, we are again in the state of sanctifying grace. I know I keep bringing up confession but it is the one sacrament that most people avoid. I did myself for quite a long time. How could I go to confession with that priest and then sit and chat in the dining hall with him, knowing that he knows all the bad things I did? I’ve come to realize that God has given priests an amazing gift to leave everything they hear in the confessional. I’m totally serious. I have no problem talking with any of the priests that I’ve confessed to in the past several years as I’ve come to learn that they cannot remember anything that is said in the confessional (and I’ve had regular conversations too). It is a gift from the Lord so that we may be able to come back to Him. So, again, I’m urging you – go, ask for forgiveness and feel the load lifted off your shoulders! – Karen Cubberly 3/27/15
