Lent begins tomorrow! Kicked off with a day of prayer and fasting on Ash Wednesday, it's a good opportunity to renew our commitment to the spiritual life as well as a prayer-and-sacrifice focus for the family over the next 40 days, not including Sundays. (I didn't make that up!)
Participating in the first ever Catholic Blog Day, I wrote a special post. With a little hesitation, I posted it at I blog Jesus. Encouraged by comments like this one...
"Super. Don't be afraid to post this. The world needs it. Just imagine all the black clouds that would be gone. <poof!>"
...I have assumed the courage to mention it here on Equipping Catholic Families.
...I can still feel how incredibly, awesomely relieved I felt after that confession. I understood the Mercy of God and the power of confession monumentally, unbelievably, giant-steps bigger in the absolution of that confession, than I had ever felt or understood before. It really took.
My confession was one of the most powerful experiences of God's Love that I've ever had.
It almost made my heart stop to do it, but I wouldn't have changed a thing...
I hope that you check out the full post at I blog Jesus:
Do you need lifelong confession?
