The Sacrament of Penance
The Sacrament of Reconciliation of a Penitent can be found on page 447 of the BCP. It is a very beneficial way to help us have a fresh start in life. It helps us to have a more intimate appreciation of God’s tenderness and compassion towards us. It helps us let go of the burden of sin as we remember that we are forgiven. This helps us bring our shame and regret to God and place those nagging feelings at the foot of the cross. It can bring into focus how we need to change and develop healthier kinds of behavior. We change our behavior by first changing why we think and feel the way we do. God supports us in that change by grace. The confidential spiritual counsel that a priest can give us, helps us put our life in perspective, which helps us change to the person we are called to be.
The Sacrament of Penance (Confession) and spiritual counsel are always available by appointment. Please don't hesitate to reach out to Fr. Civale.
