“Everyone says to himself: ‘When was the last time I went to confession?’ And if it has been a long time, don’t lose another day! Go, the priest will be good. And Jesus, (will be) there, and Jesus is better than the priests – Jesus receives you. He will receive you with so much love! Be courageous, and go to confession,”  – Pope Francis, February 19, 2014

These words from Pope Francis are a great reminder for us of what confession is all about – going to Jesus to receive His love. But, we have to be courageous!

This week we wanted to encourage you to be courageous and go to confession. Hopefully, this will inspire you to follow Pope Francis’ advice and to not “lose another day!” Here are some resources for confession.
