Confession Is Beautiful

Shopping is fun. But, there's a much better way to prepare for Christmas.

Thank you to our friends at Ascension Press for the powerful reminder.

Thought for the day from day two of the Novena to St. Therese:

The only grace I ask, O Jesus, is never to offend Thee. By love and not by fear, does a soul avoid committing the least fault. Yes, even if I have on my conscience every possible crime, I should lose none of my confidence; my heart breaking with sorrow, I should go and throw myself into the arms of my Savior. The remembrance of my faults humbles me and makes me afraid to rely on my own strength, which is nothing but weakness.

"Our faults are like a grain of sand beside the great mountain mercies of the good God."-St. John Vianney

Confession is an act of honesty and courage - an act of entrusting ourselves, beyond sin, to the mercy of a loving and forgiving God. - Blessed Pope John Paul II
