DAILY HOMILIES #sacramental confession

Jesus did not deny the fact that this woman was a sinner, but He was willing to forgive her for her act of contrition. To receive God’s forgiveness, we must first admit our faults. Stop pretending to be a saint when you know you aren’t; go down on your knees and beg for God’s forgiveness. Go and confess to a priest. Humiliate yourself before God, and He will lift you.

Even the very act of narrating your own sins forces you to look inwards. Healing begins by admitting your faults and recognizing there are areas you need to work on to become a better person.
