Jesus said: “My people, you know that I will forgive anyone’s sins, if they come to Me in true repentance and seeking My forgiveness. It takes some spiritual fortitude to admit your sins, and be willing to confess them monthly in Confession.
When you come to Confession, you do not see the long lines of former years. This is the problem with Catholics today, in that their faith has fallen asleep, and they are so lax that they are fortunate to come to Sunday Mass, let alone come to Confession.
This cleansing process should be done often, even if you only have venial sins on your soul. Because of Adam’s sin, mankind is weak to sin, which is why you need the grace of a good Confession.
By examining your conscience, you need to admit your failings in telling your sins to the priest. Do not be lazy, and do not keep putting off going to Confession. Pull yourselves up out of your spiritual sleep, and be awake again in My grace.”
Jesus to John Leary
