I really like how you emphasized how Christianity isn't a spectator sport as well. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the gift of your priesthood.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10928073488691856403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-1153075297018294122006-07-16T14:41:00.000-04:002006-07-16T14:41:00.000-04:00Fr.

I always think, "Is this temple worthy of Him, or is this something I need absolution from BEFORE I have Jesus with me?" It seems this Sacrament has become almost non essential for many, even clergy may not mention the importance, encouraging attendance etc. I've only been Catholic for 4 years, but it seems that Reconcilation is ALWAYS the starting point of moving forward, of KNOWING that love and freedom of being able to receive and love and serve Him completely. And isn't that what repentance(sp?) is? At least for that hour until I stumble again! Maybe I need to be like PJP2 who went daily...I'm SURE our priest would just LOVE me!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, a long ramble to, thank you for reminding us of the value of this Sacrament.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055691110317133958noreply@blogger.com
