"The sin of the century
is the loss of the sense of sin."
"I have never heard a confession
that was worse than the first one I made
when I returned to the Church."
quotes from Father John Corapi, SOLT
(Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity)
This picture reminds me of the OT vision of a prophet (can't remember his name right now, Jeremiah maybe?) who's lips were unclean until they were purified by the angel who touched them with a burning coal from God's altar. In a similar way are our lips purified by confession.
ReplyDeleteThe confessional is a place of healing for our souls and minds. It is there that the Lord invites all of us to come a drink in the stream of His Graces leaving renewed in our spirits to lead a life of holiness. How sad today, many do not take advantage of this AWESOME SACRAMENT. Jesus be the Joy of the World for all who are looking for the TRUTH!!! John K.
ReplyDeleteTHE SACRAMENT OF CONFESSION is one of the greatest mercies of God.
ReplyDeleteWhat would we do without confession?
Thank You Lord,for your Mercy.

Hello dear Micki,
This is so true. Sometimes it feels like we all have to put a sackcloth over our bodies in atonement for all sins in the world... God have mercy on us all!
It is good to be here, dear Micki!
