“Why do I have to go to Confession? I can talk to God anywhere. “ You may have heard these comments from friends, or family members, or even said them yourself.
It is true we can talk to God anytime and anywhere. But if that is all we need to do, then why did Jesus give us this sacrament? A sacrament is an outward sign, instituted by Christ, to give grace. Confessing our sins is an outward sign.
The priest represents Jesus Christ and in the sacrament of reconciliation, we acknowledge our sins before God and His Church.
The risen Lord instituted this sacrament on the evening of Easter when he showed himself to his apostles and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” (John 20:22-23).
And through this sacrament we receive grace which is the help God gives us to do what is good and right. There is nothing we can do that will make God stop loving us.
God is always willing to forgive us when we are sorry. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a great blessing! And Lent is a perfect time to receive these blessings.
