Advent Sunday II-Prepare
Why is it so difficult to seek Sacramental Reconciliation? For a refresher, it is the correct way for a Catholic to be sacramentally healed by Christ. It is NOT the priest who does the forgiving, it is the Lord and the Lord alone! However just confessing one's sins to another PERSON reminds us that each sin is an offesnse against God and the COMMUNITY. No private sins period! The priest can never reveal one's sins to ANYONE. He is as in need of forgiveness as all are and he too receives the sacrament when needed. So experience the joy of the season! Be prepared to greet the Lord when He comes.
