About Confession and Communion..I would like to share a story..and I can vouch for this as I know the person well..
A family friend..Catholic..but never went to church.. .didnt have inner peace etc....anyway to make a long story short..elderly man..I convinced him..to go to Communion..and Confession..he was very cynical..luke warm at best..and grudgingly and grumpily went..
When he came out of church after having Confessed and had Holy Communion for the first time in ages..this is what he said to me..he said..that he felt different..he looked it ..was smiling..he said he felt as if a weight had lifted..and he felt an inner calmness and peace that he had not remembered having felt before..
This I personally saw happen..I shant forget it..the change was amazing..
Quoting: wildhoney forgiveness is HUGE......it is a major instruction from the Most High.....whether it be done in a confessional box or sitting on the porcelain throne........it needs to be done. People critisize us for confessing our sins to a Priest..but it takes great humility to confess them to another person..be they *small* sins or not..the simple fact you recognize that you are imperfect..is in itself part of the healing process..and a step towards forgiveness and redemption I understand the concept of speaking the words aloud, or even writing them down, and the significance of that....but why would that be more difficult to do than to confess to the Almighty I AM ? You can do to HIM anytime, any place! The act itself of confessing our imperfects to someone else..and someone with the Grace to impart forgiveness..and also advice.. And I dont care what is said about Priests..the ones I know are absolutely wonderfully amazing and Saintly..and very patient..one even takes the bother to remind me when there are mass meetings etc.. They do a lot of good work..lots of personal sacrifice of their time towards others.. Some bad fruits doesnt meen the whole lot are..many amazing souls among them.. That take the bother to listen to you..and try to help with advice etc.. Oh and the one that did the Masses for my Grandfather didnt even charge me.. So another thread if you want to speak ill of priests and or nuns..not on this one please..thank you
