Labor Day of Love: “How I am to approach the Sacrament of Penance?”
Some of you denizens of these USA might be experiencing a buzz in your head as we approach the Labor Day weekend. You have, perhaps, lots of preparations for this unofficial end of summer activities which have to be squeezed in.
Don’t forget also to examine your consciences and GO TO CONFESSION!
Apropos going to confession, a reader sent this:
I know you love evangelizing – esp the sacrament of reconciliation. I thought this was a nice quote for you to see (and or use). From Sr. Faustina’s Diary:
Today, the Lord has been teaching me, once again, how I am to approach the Sacrament of Penance: My daughter, just as you prepare in My presence, so also you make your confession before Me. The person of the priest is, for Me, only a screen. Never analyze what sort of a priest it is that I am making use of; open your soul in confession as you would to Me, and I will fill it with My light (Diary, 1725).
