  • How much are we entering into the Liturgy and Sacraments? Are we passive, or do we pray through these experiences and truly participate in these offerings?
    Today, Fr. Mark-Mary shares how we can prayerfully prepare for Reconciliation, making our confessions in a way that is transformational for our spiritual growth.
    Read even more about how the power of confession can change your life forever with the Pocket Guide to Reconciliation (tinyurl.com/22...) from Fr. Mike Schmitz and Fr. Josh Johnson.

    I agree prayer is essential. I'm homebound and not been to a church in 2 years. I miss getting the sacraments of Jesus. And desperately need to go to confession

      Aw they can get someone to take the Host to you and I'm sure a Priest could hear your confession too. Give your local Church a call.

      My daughter is homebound and our parish brings her Holy Communion and the Sacraments of the Anointing of the sick every first Friday. Perhaps your local church can do the same for you! My daughter has also been able to make her Confession when she has asked.

    Thank you, Father. I always feel such anxiety when preparing to go and standing in line for confession. I go to confession every 4 - 6 weeks, usually, and it is so difficult for me. I will try to pray more and remember the cost of this sacrament and try to focus less on myself.

    thank you for this father, I've always had difficulty going to confession and properly repenting, I often end up continuing to feel guilty and unworthy after confession, but when you said to focus on giving thanks instead of on your sins it's like something just clicked.
    I really needed that, thank you

    Our Family stay in Repentance with Penential Prayers at Church for Family member - Sister Nonreligious (Nonchristian) Marriage before Lord Jesus Christ. Now We are staying within Our Own Catholic Values and moved on with New Beginning.
    My Prayers with Apologies and Best Wishes for Past Connections whom could have been hurt due to My Own Actions. Take Care.

    Father, I used to love arriving early for Mass and having some quiet time with the Lord before Mass. However, the people in our church, talk as loud as they're in a restaurant. I can't concentrate with loud talking. Should I just spend quiet time at home, then just come to Mass when it starts?

    Hey i have a question regarding my father that has started to join me and my brother in church after we, his sons converted and started to take the faith more seriously.
    I'd love for my dad to be able to go to confession. I want him to get Gods mercy and forgiveness and for him to be able to heal his soul. The thing is that he never takes the euqarist or goes to confesion and i think it's probably because hes in a secular unmarried relationship and he knows he can't do it. He now recently had a child with his girlfriend too and even though i'm really happy i got a new sister i'm just so sad if my dad can't participate fully as a catholic. I want his soul to be saved.
    Is there any way he can atleast confess in his current state? He is probably never going to abandon his relationship.
    Thanks for every answer and God bless you.
    If anyone wants to pray for my dad i'd be really happy.
