Pope Francis - on forgiveness without the possibility of confession.

3/31/2020

Pope Francis ...
"I know that many of you go to confession before Easter… Many will say to me: ‘But Holy Father…I can’t leave the house and I want to make my peace with the Lord. I want Him to embrace me… How can I do that unless I find a priest?’
​

 Do what the catechism says. It’s very clear. If you don’t find a priest to go to confession, speak to God. He’s your Father. Tell Him the truth: ‘Lord. I did this and this and this. Pardon me.’ Ask His forgiveness with all your heart with an act of contrition, and promise Him, ‘afterward I will go to confession.’
​

You will return to God’s grace immediately. By doing this You yourself can draw near, as the Catechism teaches us, to God’s forgiveness, if there is no priest available."

Someone sent this to me on the internet and it gave me pause... something to think about for sure. Maybe today we can all reflect a little more on how we are going to use this opportunity to draw closer to God. If you are so inclined why not leave your thoughts in the comments so that others may benefit from them.  If you stumble across something that can inspire us or challenge us to grow closer to each other and closer to God email it to alwaystogether@stanneweb.com  Have a good day

God gives sufferings to those He loves. Suffering unites us to one another in a way joy cannot. It’s especially true when we all share a similar struggle. This situation can do more to heal our world than a thousand years of good times ever could.
