WORDS FROM OUR SHEPHERD
Of the Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church, I believe the Sacrament of Reconciliation is one of the Sacraments that some of us tend to receive less often than others. Outside of Eucharist, Reconciliation is
probably offered the most. Yet as compared to Eucharist, Reconciliation is a far distant second. Is the amount of sin down in the world? Not at all! There is more sin present in the world than ever before. Are the people in the world treating each other better? I do not think I have to answer that question, because the answer is quite prevalent. Then what is keeping us from the Sacrament of Reconciliation?
Here are three reasons, I think, why people have stopped going to Reconciliation:
1. There is no such thing as sin.
I think it was Pope Pius XII who stated that “God does not take sin as lightly as we do.” We are led to believe that sin does not exist in the world any longer. That is the commentary that society—pushing their agenda on whatever we want to do is not a sin—no matter what the church says. (a) We have been led to believe that attending Mass is optional; (b) Living together as a married couple, outside of marriage, is fine; and (c) The world is all about me—is how we should live. As Catholics, we know those three comments are false and that we need to go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation prior to receiving Communion.
2. With everything out in the open, we have been bombarded by so many sinful things, we think it is normal and have now become immune.
February 20, 2022 Page 3
We cannot watch television, check out the Internet, read or hear about the latest news without hearing about violence, war and the inhumane things being done to people. The movies or television shows we watch have more sex and violence than one person could imagine. So, we believe that if it is “out there,” it cannot be sinful.
3. That Reconciliation (Confession) is passé. We have been led to believe that Reconciliation is not needed since we can talk to God directly from the forest or at the beach! We can talk to God from any location. Unfortunately, for a serious sin to be forgiven, one must go to a priest. I wonder if part of the reason there is an increase in the number of people seeing mental health professionals is because we need to get sinful things off our chest?
Have a Blessed week! Fr. Bill
