Priest Retreat #10 May 2007 Sacrament of Reconciliation & The Litugical Year

This Conference (38 Minutes) by Fr. Paschal Cheline, OSB, examines and helps remove the negative image the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) may have for many Catholics. Sin is a negative response to the call to holiness. Going to Christ the Healer in this sacrament draws us into holiness and wholeness. Honest humility before God brings healing and strength. The regular practice is so important for growth in holiness. Fr. Paschal finishes off the retreat by looking at the Liturgical Year. It is in celebrating the great mysteries of our faith throughout the week and year that we keep Jesus as the absolute centrality of our life.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to this retreat. I hope that this close look at the sacraments has help you grow in love with God and the Grace that is given to us through the Church. Please let me know how I can better serve you. Peace be with you...
