Today I went to confession; what a beautiful sacrament! As I reflect on what confession is, I am overjoyed with happiness that God gave us this wonderful gift. The Sacrament of Reconcilliation (Pennance, Confession) is truly one of the best sacraments that the Church has to offer, outside of the Eucharist of course. The Sacrament of Reconcilliation is a Sacrament that has great qualities. When one enters into the confessional, often times they are scared. Ofthen times they do not want to go through this expiereince for one reason or another. One thing that I have learned from my metaphysics class in the seminary, is that the sacrament of confession is not just the forgiving of sins, however, it actually creates us as a new person, ontologically. The sacrament for me has been a life saver, no pun intended. The strength that I get from going to Confession. I think that it is very important for one to have a confessor, as in, go to one priest, unless it is an emergency, to confess to. This will allow the priest to help you on your journey through this life to help guide you to heaven. It is not healthy for you to go to confession to one priest, to another, to another. It is imperative for one to have the consitancy. Consistancy, I think is very important.  It can help one to overcome the vices, and help them to overcome the temptations. 

Thanks for reading my rambling,

God Bless you!
