Readers’ Reflections on Reconciliation

For generations, the sacrament of reconciliation was received by Catholics with troubled minds and heavy hearts. Over time, however, this sacrament has waned in popularity. Many people feel embarrassed to divulge their sins to a priest in such an intimate setting; others prefer to skip the middleman and confess to God directly; and, yet, there are Catholics who partake in this sacrament on a regular basis with enthusiasm and conviction.

We here at St. Anthony Messenger Press are seeking your special memories about how the sacrament of reconciliation has touched you.

Some Catholics find the sacrament of reconciliation essential and comforting, while others find it unnecessary and uncomfortable. How do you feel about the sacrament of reconciliation and why?
