Agreed. My old parish priest was a strong believer in frequent opportunities to recieve the sacrament, right up to holding an hour of confession time before every mass. Funny thing about it - when the line is right there in front of you, it’s a lot harder to pretend like it doesn’t exist.
For that matter, though, I wish more people would realize how wonderful this sacrament is. If one looks at sacraments for what they are - vessels of God’s grace - then it quickly becomes apparent that this is a fantastic method of infusing the spirit with it. In my experience, grace accumulates in the soul like medicine. One dose a week through the Eucharist is wonderful, but once a day if at all possible is orders of magnitude better.
Much the same is confession - if once a week for the Eucharist is great, why not amplify that grace with the other sacrament? I’m sure it is no coincidence that every other sacrament features the Eucharist alongside of it. Unlike the others, however, confession is unique in that we can avail ourselves of it as often as we need it!
“...when the line is right there in front of you, it’s a lot harder to pretend like it doesn’t exist.”
Exactly, a good point.
