– Because Jesus can help you repair and restore what’s broken in your life.
– Because you need to hear Jesus’ soothing words, spoken to you through the priest.
– Because confession brings you strength, peace, and a share in the divine life that’s promised to you.
– Because confession is a marvelous gift from our loving God!
These are a few of the “whys” Father Joe Sica explains in this gentle, comforting, and hopeful book. Although there are lot of reasons why you might be avoiding confession, Fr. Sica shows why we all need the strength and healing God provides in this sacrament.
Upbeat and full of empathy, this brief booklet is perfect for the RICA, newcomer ministries, faith formation groups, or anyone who has been away from the sacrament. As Father says, “this sacramental meeting with Jesus beautifully and simply celebrates a comforting message all wounded souls need to hear: You’re forgiven. The slate is wiped clean. You have a fresh start. Leave the past behind!”
Joseph Sica is a priest of the Diocese of Scranton, Pennsylvania. He is a storyteller, motivational speaker, and author of Forgiveness: One Step at a Time and Embracing Change: 10 Ways to Grow Spiritually and Emotionally.
