I nag you to…
GO TO CONFESSION!
I received a note today which made my day.
Father Z,
Today, on the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, I went to Adoration and Confession. It was my first time going to Confession in nineteen years! When I said as much, Father exclaimed, “Wow! Nineteen years! God must have been chasing you for a while.” That He has. I talked myself out of going for too many years and I am sorry it took so long. Thank you for your persistent reminders to go. There are not enough words to express my gratitude.
May God bless you immensely!
You get …
Everyone, for the love of God…
GO TO CONFESSION!
There is no sin that we little mortals can commit that our all-powerful and loving God will not forgive, provided we ask for forgiveness.
The Sacrament of Penance was established by Jesus Christ. He intended that this sacrament be the ordinary means through which we return to the state of grace.
No matter what you have done, Christ – in the person of the priests in the confessional – washes that sin from your soul with His own Blood.
Once you have received absolution, those sins will not be held against you in your judgement. They are gone. You will remember them, but their guilt is no longer with you. You have to do penance for them, but the sins are removed, they are not just covered over or sort of kind of forgotten. They are eradicated from your soul. They are no more.
GO TO CONFESSION!
“I absolve you from your sins…”
When was the last time you heard those words from the priest after confessing all your sins in kind and number? Hmmm?
While we live we have the chance to get things right with ourselves, our neighbors and our God.
Get things right.
GO TO CONFESSION!
Fathers, if you don’t now offer decent times for confessions in the parish entrusted to you and if you don’t preach about this important sacrament and about sin, you are probably going to go to Hell. And Bishops… I fear for you if you are not promoting this important sacrament in your dioceses. Think about your judgment.
You also had better…

45 for me, sad to say. But thanks to you and AB, after having only been to confession once in my youth, about 5 years ago I made a general life confession and now go regularly! Thanks for keeping on us about this!!!
I came back to the Church in 2017, after 40 yrs away. 40 yrs of sins to confess! I made an appointment with the priest and told him it was my first confession in 40 yrs. This is absolutely important so the priest can allocate an hour at least. Then to prepare, I created a spreadsheet with the type of sin in one column, the number in another. I focused on the more frequently committed sins first. Usually we commit one or two types more than the others: impurity, greed, violence/hatred, etc.
You need to be very methodical and organized. Please pray the Rosary and ask Our Lady to illuminate your mind.
Fantastic news! Truly beautiful and good.
