Thursday/ Friday of the Second Week of Lent
Pope John Paul II once said somewhere that if a priest is a good penitent he will be a good confessor. The priest, a vessel of clay, is equally in need of the mercy and peace of Christ in the Sacrament of Penance. This penitent and confessor has learned over these 37 years that frequent use of the Sacrament of Penance is a sure anti-dote to sin.
We are all in need of forgiveness. The Gospel of the first Sunday of Lent tells of the power of a temptation. To stand tough in the face of evil requires the Grace of this Sacrament.
Confession is good for the soul.

Pax et Bonum
