Questions

Why should you confess to a priest?

Mark as read

It is not just telling something: it is receiving forgiveness in a concrete way.

At times it is hard to understand why it is not enough to say things alone. But human beings need visible gestures, spoken words heard aloud, and concrete paths to begin anew. Confession unites truth, humility, and mercy. You are not going to expose your misery pointlessly; you are going to receive God's forgiveness in a sacrament. Confession is not a room for faultless people. It is a place of truth and mercy where you can stop justifying yourself and start over with the grace of God.

Key idea

Confession makes forgiveness concrete and makes your return concrete.

Your challenge for this idea

Make a brief examination of conscience today. Look at one thing that needs to be healed.
