"Forgive me Father, it's been 35 years since my last confession..."

Same with me but it was about 15 years... don't you wish you could explain to people how wonderful, fantastic and liberated you feel afterwards? And what a feeling to receive the Body of Christ when you've just (or recently) made a good confession.

If people went to confession regularly, I am convinced there would be no need for psychiatrists or anti-depression drugs.

The examination of conscience has so often caused me to rethink my own approach to the daily issues of life that I cannot imagine really NOT knowing that Confession was available and efficacious.

There'd certainly be far fewer working psychologists.
