What is di...Confession is not too difficult for me. What is difficult is living in a state of grace. Which in itself is a means for the need of confession. This also brings to mind the Psalm: Lord, hear my cry! May your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. If you, LORD, mark our sins, Lord, who can stand? But with you is forgiveness and so you are revered. (Ps 130, 2-4) and as well this Psalm. Which I came across trying to find that Psalm: Have mercy on me, God, in your goodness; in your abundant compassion blot out my offense. Wash away all my guilt; from my sin cleanse me. For I know my offense; my sin is always before me. Against you alone have I sinned; I have done such evil in your sight That you are just in your sentence, blameless when you condemn. True, I was born guilty, a sinner, even as my mother conceived me. <br /> Confession is the place where God does this. The Sacred Bath for cleansing of the soul. As well as the choicest of Divine prefuming by which the soul is strengtened. In which satan is repelled and tempts you less. Oh and prayer, a Divine Cologne, the grace of God, that Mother Mary full of grace unsparingly spritz upon you .gotprayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197030319091518288noreply@blogger.com
