Seen in a Facebook post by My Catholic Faith … “Do you avoid going to Confession? Do you find the idea of going to Confession intimidating? Do you only go to Confession as part of your "Easter duty"? The sacrament of Confession is fundamental to living life as a Catholic Christian disciple of Jesus. Yet Catholics are running from the confessional instead of to the confessional. Discover what you have been missing! Prepare for an encounter with God that will bring you a freedom and joy that this world cannot give and cannot take away – an encounter with God that will "heal your life."
Yes, I am that person. I am that person who doesn’t know much about Confession, who has always been a little leery of it, who has only participated sporadically … and not at all in many years. And I mean many many years.
This is hard to admit publicly, as I know I am a good Catholic. But how good a Catholic can I really be, if I have relative disdain for one of our Sacraments? There is much I need to learn, still … and I want to participate fully in Confession. I will make that my goal this Easter season. Do you also need to make it yours?
