Chronicles Of The Pure

Today, let's focus on the benefit of confessions. I'm sure many of us pictured the wooden booth with an inward partition separating parishioner and priest, most notably recognized as a practice of the Catholic tradition. However, I'm not specifically referring to the location of confession as much as the posture of openness. No matter where you are or who you are with, confession reaps a benefit for your soul. The act of confession is simply the verbal acknowledgment of what is inwardly felt and experienced. As the adage goes, "Confession is good for the soul." The adage is true. There is a redemptive, cleansing, and refreshing effect of sacred confession. We have our Lord with whom we may confess. We also may have trusted individuals who may serve as willing, open hearts that help to bear our burdens. Remember that, at times, getting it off your chest through confession can be the difference between a state of peace and pain. Confess for your healing. _________________________________________________________
