Confession

When was the last time you had a good confession? Or any confession at all for that matter. It can be so easy to put the out of routine spiritual sacraments on the back burner, but they really need to be placed as a priority.
It's funny how ignorant we can be sometimes. We wander around complaining about why we are so grumpy or why we can't seem to move forward spiritually or even overcome the bad habits we've acquired in life, but then we ignore the graces that God has placed right in front of us, available at least weekly. We continue to in our day to day struggles trying to carry these giant or little burdens of sin believing that it is easier to carry the sin and live life rather than confessing them to God and letting them go and living life. Now which is easier to you? Doing everything you have to do all day carrying 10 bricks on your back or carrying none? I know that when I receive the sacrament of reconciliation I feel like a giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I also feel a sense of freedom and the ability to overcome my struggles so much easier. Why is that? Because of the grace that is received in the sacrament.
You may or may not be Catholic reading this. If you are...take the time to go to confession, it will do you a world of good. If not, take the time to offer a special time to God to just reflect and confess your sins, or you could give Catholic confession a try once. You might be surprised how wonderful the experience is. Just call your local Catholic church and ask about their confession times. I'm sure they'd be glad to help.
