The fruits of a good confession

It is nice to be able to post good feedback once in a while.

This is from a reader:

Well, you’re always asking for good news, so I thought I’d let you know: Thanks to your many postings about it, I made a general confession today. It was something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time, because I know there are many sins in my past that had not yet been confessed. Even though I’ve been meaning to do it though, I’ve been putting it off, because the thought of it was horrifying to me. But after you posted that "Savage Chicken" cartoon, the comment you made, "There is no reprieve," has been haunting me.

I called a good priest, and after a thorough examination of conscience just did it. The priest was wonderfully kind and compassionate, and thanked me for making a good confession (possibly the first "good" confession I’ve ever made – I tried very hard not to cut myself any slack).

So, for what it’s worth, thank you very much. This coming Holy Week and Easter will no doubt be the best in my life. I hope some day you’ll know just how many souls you’ve helped to get on the path to heaven.
