It also gives us the opportunity to receive counseling and assurance that we are on the correct spiritual path.<br />I read once where a non catholic psychologist while visiting a church in Europe witnessed a woman who was evidently very disturbed enter a confessional. Toward the end of his church tour he witnessed the same woman emerge and walk toward the altar to pray. He was shocked at the change in her. She was no longer writhing with some inner anguish but looked very serene and peaceful. He wrote that if he had been able to affect that amount of change in a patient in so short a time, he would consider himself a very good doctor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24538881.post-90501973107589189722009-05-24T13:19:58.183-07:002009-05-24T13:19:58.183-07:00Confession comes in many forms and ways and a wood...Confession comes in many forms and ways and a wooden box in a church is not one of them (in my books)<br />signed<br />'a wayward Catholic'<br />xoxLolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02274885258503815322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24538881.post-62283123765654299142009-05-24T12:37:54.448-07:002009-05-24T12:37:54.448-07:00Great connection here.

No. It's not about them. However, when someone stands with me in unconditional love and acceptance, it is easier for me to forgive myself. <br /><br />Confession in the Church puts the emPHAsis on the wrong sylLABle...if you know what I mean.<br /><br />Love Mary.
