@frsamfrench: In the Sacrament of Confession we face the uncomfortable truth of our sins, but even more we encounter the truth of God’s mercy. No sin is too dark for His light, no failure too deep for His grace. Just as Jesus raised Saul from persecutor to Apostle, He can raise us from our past into new life. When the priest says “I absolve you”, it is Jesus Himself speaking, restoring our soul. If you feel far from God, this is where you come home. Come home to the Church and…go to confession! #catholic #catholicism #sacraments #confession #priest
