Whew. Got my son to go to Confession last night - it's been about 2 years for him. Teenagers can be tough. He wasn't struck by lightening - I think he was encouraged :)
I had a little pamphlet book on Confession to help him out and refresh his memory.
We had 4 priests on deck last night for Confessions and they're going to be doing the same thing all week from 7 pm until they're finished.
One thing that usually discourages me is to try to go to Confession and wait in line...then the priest is only there for 30 minutes and you don't get heard. Being able to go and know you'll be heard is worth the wait.
We are truly Blessed!
Lol ... it doesn't get any easier. Since Confession is mandatory prior to receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation, my daughter couldn't escape. They probably wonder how 'doing what everyone else is doing', could be a sin. Since then, a team of wild horses couldn't drag her back.
See #35 in this thread!
