Have you ever wondered by
Catholics confess their sins to a Priest?
I am sure every Catholic gets this question one time or another and I am
sure some Catholics don’t know the answer or Biblical proof. I was one of those. To be honest I love with people ask me
questions as to why Catholics do certain things because if I don’t know the
answer I find it. When I find the answer
it always makes me love the Catholic Church that much more. My love keeps growing and growing for the
Church.
There are plenty of times
where I would pray and ask God to forgive me.
It felt good; however the feeling that I get when I go to Confession is
overwhelming with sadness and ending in joy.
You see when I go I pray about my sins.
I reflect on my sins. I think of
everything that I have done that has been heavy on my heart. I sit there in the Church looking at the crucifix
and every time cry. I cry because I
see, know, and feel that Jesus died for me.
He took all the pain and suffering because I am a sinner. I am human.
I sin. I don’t care how Christian
anyone feels on Earth, you are a sinner.
You cannot live a perfect life.
As I reflect, I cry because of every sin that I caused pain to others
and myself. He died for my sins. This is an amazing feeling I get before I go
to confession.
By the time I am ready, I go
and confess my sins to the Priest. Once
I confess my sins the priest will have kind words of encouragement to help me
sin no more. Then I hear the best words
EVER: “I absolve you from your sins in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” It’s amazing how much weight is lifted
from my shoulders. I feel amazing. I truly believe that I have been forgiven for my sins. There are not words to explain it unless you
experience it. It’s a moment of peace.
Back to my question…have you
ever wondered why Catholics confess their signs to a priest? I have friends that tell me “but what about 1
John 1:9”
Watch this video and see why
we need to confess our sins! Amen! God
is Good!
